I went to hang our flag and found the mounting hardware missing from our recent painting of the front porch area. So off to Home Depot for new hardware. Seems that I was not the only one with this idea. I went to two different Home Depots and they are completely out of flags, poles and mounting brackets. Tomorrow I'll try the local hardware stores. Right now I have the flag rigged up with some screws and strings. I hope it doesn't get too windy tonight.
