They have a big flag flying. Anyone wants to take it down, come and take it. Bring lots of blood. You’ll need it. They fly it. We’ll protect it.

I talked to a rep for the flag company that installed it and he said it cost $500K to install it. They had to bring in a special crew from Texas to do the ground excavation that holds the pole in place. 16 posted on 04/01/2025 2:31:02 AM PDT by Hot Tabasco To: Revel Should talk about how zoning is one of the worst ideas forced on the American property owner. 17 posted on 04/01/2025 3:01:03 AM PDT by riverrunner To: Telepathic Intruder If you were a liberal you would. 18 posted on 04/01/2025 3:06:14 AM PDT by maddog55 (The only thing systemic in America is the left's hatred of it!)
