Default 30x60ft American Flag gets changed every 90 days and donated~Mike@Criswell

30x60ft American Flag gets changed every 90 days at Criswell Chevrolet. Then it gets donated to local organizations such as the Boy Scouts, American Legion, etc.
Watch the drone over view.

I agree, which is why we have to change it every 90 days.

I love to see that. With all of the disrespect the flag gets these days, seeing a large, clean, bright new flag flying brightens my day. Thank you Criswell...

It's a beautiful sight seeing bright-flying colors.

I bet the guy who raises the flag would enjoy if that halyard was motorized.

Oh man, now that I've visited this flag, I have to fire up the desktop 'puter and figure out how to change my icon to my new "Furman" C7.

You will need to change your picture to your 1 of 13 made Stingray in Shark Gray with spice red interior.

Beautiful. Just out of curiosity, how many thousands does each of those flags cost!

Default Contact your local Congressman



Yours is a giant flag and we have a couple of those locally. They are awesome to see when the wind picks em up.

The 4X6 I ordered for the house is a bit large so for those that would like one that was flown over the US Capitol may I suggest ordering a 3X5 Nylon for exterior use. At one time they were free but the US deficit started getting out of hand. Now the fee is nominal @ $17.00 for the 3X5 Cotton, $16.00 for the 3X5 Nylon, $21.00 for 4X6 Nylon, $26.00 for 5X8 Nylon and $29.00 5X8 Cotton. Flag cost includes $6.00 for flying fee. A good deal.

Once you make an online request your local Congressman's Office staff will send you their order form. Just prepare the wording for the message you wish on the certificate. No cash or credit cards. Checks or money order only.

As a patriot & a member of the American Legion, I am pleased to see Old Glory flying proudly.....especially a very large one.

I flew one in front of my house for years.......but now that I live in an HOA community, flags are verboten.

I proudly hung a 3'x5' flag in my garage - which I see every time I come home or leave the house.
