Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ok - I waited several months to post review. I literally order hundreds of items through Amazon each year and can count on 1 hand the number of times I've been to a mall (for example) in the past 3 years. I'm also extremely busy, so online shopping is super convenient. Because I am so busy I usually don't write reviews - and, let's face it - hundreds of yearly items = hundreds of reviews. This item is different. This item deserves a review. To say I come from a patriotic family is an understatement; to say I come from a military family is an understatement; to say I love my country is an understatement. I've flown an American flag outside my home for almost 30 years. I "strongly suggest" American flags be flown outside my rental properties as well. Needless to say I've seen many flags. This flag is superb. There is a brightness about it which almost seems self-illuminating, even at dawn and dusk. Although it has not been through a New England winter yet it looks just as sprarkling new as it did 3+ months ago and I have a feeling it will continue to look brand new for years to come. I'm looking out at it as I type this and find myself with a lump in my throat. This flag almost seems to puff out it's chest. I know that's crazy, but it doesn't have that "limp" look to it as it hangs - it seems always "at attention." Strong like Americans and made by Americans. Please don't hesitate with this one. Like me, you will be honored to own such a quality symbol representing our great country. If you are in the market for a new flag it doesn't get any better than this. It just doesn't.
