If you want a real gol-darn USA flag, check your state's Senator's web site. You can buy a flag flown at the US Capitol building in DC on a specific day, and the cost is pretty reasonable.
The flag flying in front of my house right now (suitably lit) was flown for my Grandfather on the anniversary of his enlistment in the US Army Artillery Corps in 1918. He left MIT and enlisted. Got the Spanish flu in barracks a week before he was due to go to France. Survived the Flu, but never made it back to college.
