Thanks for sharing this find.  Great thing they did.

I bet the last person holding that flag when raised was hoping a big puff of wind did not catch the flag.

That is mighty nice. I would of been proud to be the last one to touch that flag on it's way up to the top of the pole.

Bill, that is way cool!  Thanks for posting.

I checked; unfortunately their coverage is not available in NC (but it is in most states).

I fish the Sheboygan river, little more than a mile from the flag. At first I was puzzled at what the sound of the flag waving in the breeze was. Finally figured it out, You can see it from miles away and hear it from over a mile away too.
