While walking on a Beach Haven beach two weeks ago, Andy Duffy saw something that wasn’t quite right.
Along the shoreline off Berkeley Avenue sits apiling. Duffy noted that for years, the piling had an American flag on top.

I waited for a few days because with Memorial Day weekend coming, I wanted to see a flag there.

At his Beach Haven home, Duffy had a3- by 5-foot American flag.
