need a flag for a sick Marine

[abailey362]

My neighbor across the road is a Marine vet that lives alone off disability and income from the small storage facility he has here. He has cirrhosis pretty bad and has been in the hospital a good bit lately. His son had been helping him with yard work etc, but he is out of town for an extended time for work. I've started talking care of the yard work for him so he doesn't have to in this heat, and trying to help out where else we can.
He is a proud vet and flies 3 American and Marine flags around the property. They are all starting to get weathered to the point they need to be retired. I plan on replacing them for him in honor of Veterans Day, and thought it may be more meaningful for him if some of the flags, especially the Marine Corp ones, came from his brothers in service.
If you have one around, or would like to get one for him to fly, let me know.

what kind of attachment points are needed on it?

I think they are all 2 point grommets that he has up now.

Sizes on the American flags?

The ones he has now are 3x5 I think, but I could probably make something a little bigger work if needed. If I can catch him gone from the house this weekend I'll verify. Trying to be low key about it so he doesn't tell me he cab replace them himself. I told him I was doing his yard because I like being out on the mower, so I didn't chance hurting his pride.

I will look tomorrow and see if I have an American flag. I know I don't have anything otger than maybe an American flag but if I have one I'll head your way.

You're a good man. I did the same with my Marine neighbor Al. Us old Jarheads are PROUD. You handled it well. I'll buy a Marine Corps flag if you haven't already. 3X5?

 

[abailey362]

I think they are 3 x 5, but going to try and double check this weekend.

Got a close look today and they are 3x5.
