To the Editor:

Here on Long Beach Island, many homes have flag poles and many homeowners proudly display their American flag. Most respect the flag and follow the proper protocols for flying and handling their flags.

Unfortunately we have a fair number of homeowners who are either unaware of how to properly display their flag, or they just don’t care. I often see tangled-up flags, shredded flags, faded flags and unlit flags flying 24 hours.
