People should be pulling down those flags at sunset anyway.

Not if the flagpole is lit, don't spread misinformation.

How many homes do you see with lit flagpoles?

How many homes don't have nightlights in this day and age?

Almost zero

Most people believe you are not allowed to fly the stars and stripes at night. However, this is only partly true. According to the US Flag Code, all American flags should be displayed from sunrise to sunset every day. Lowering the flag at night is an ultimate sign of respect for Old Glory.

But like many rules, there is an exception. You can keep your flag flying 24-hours if it is properly illuminated during all hours of darkness. But what exactly is “proper illumination?” The American Legion interprets that as a light source that is specifically placed to light up the flag at night. The light must be bright enough that the US flag is recognizable by the casual observer passing by.

That sounds like more than just a night light to me.

Please, let's not criticize people who fly the American flag. Whether or not they bring that flag down at sunset, it's a positive that they have some pride, and it's there. It's better than being a commie, and hating the USA.
