I mentioned to the local newspaper Editor a while back that there are 3 young men from our town currently serving in Afghanistan, hoping that they may get a little recognition for the good work they do in serving our country. His response was, "oh yeah?, we should send the town flag over there so they can fly it at the base for a day, and take pictures, then send it back so we can display it at town hall!". That wasn't quite the reaction I was hoping for. In a later issue of the newspaper he wrote that "someone should get the flag over there", and town council directed Management to take care of it.
I am not sure about this, so I searched here for any similar posts and found none. Did a web search and also found nothing. I wonder if this is even possible, because there might be protocol preventing the Base from flying miscellaneous flags. I don't know where He got his information from and I don't want to ask him when obviously the good members of this site would know definitively. Don't want to send a flag over to these guys, one of them My Son, if its not going to fly. (the idea that is)
Maybe as an alternative He could drape it over the front of his tank so the crew and/or the hometown boys could pose with it? Not comfortable suggesting this either until I hear back from some replies here.
Thanks
