That brings up a point, Buzz, I wonder if it is ok to leave Old Glory out at night NOT illuminated?

Sorry for the late response but thought this was worth posting anyway.
I used to work for a large financial company that has headquarters across west 7th street from WFC in NY. I was to be on a flight to NY on that morning, but the week prior it was decided that I did not need to go. On 091101, I was working in my Minneapolis office when a co-worker ran into the office to tell me that there was a problem in NY. I happened to have a TV in my truck that day so I went to the parking ramp to get it. At one point, I had over a dozen people in my office watching updates. My NY co-workers were trying to get home. They used every form of transportation possible (walking, running, Boat, Subway, Train, Taxi).... Some co-workers finally made it home 8 hours after they left the office. Some had called me as they were escaping, they couldn't call home as the network was backed up, but they could call out. I collected their home information and called for them telling spouses that everything was fine and they were on their way. The weeks and months following 09/11, I was a point person in the organization as they were trying to work remote and I was in my Minneapolis office. In December of 01, I went to NY for the first time since September. I saw the hole and was awstruck. While the company I worked for did lose some people, I didn't personally know any of them.
Yes, I fly my flag proudly every day both before and since that date.
Mello Yellow the flag needs to be illuminated at night. IC2 thanks for sharing the rules. The flag deserves the respect that are laid out in the rules.
