M35A2C - Parade Ready

[OD_Coyote]

It was decided at the last minute to run the deuce in the local parade, so here are some pics of the truck flying a U. S. flag that was carried by my youngest son when he was flying missions in chopper over Iraq earler this year.

Looking good OD-C!

That is awesome. And thank you guys for your service.

What's wrong with the flag? It is part of our history when our country was in its infancy.

Truck looks great. Would you be able to do a close-up pic of how the
flag pole is attached to the bumper? What is the flag pole from, or made of?
I need to do the same US flag set up on my truck in order to have it
flown correctly as per rules/guidelines.
In other words, the way you are flying a fullsize US flag on the truck is the correct way to do it and for many of us doing parades, we could learn something here.
Thanks for any help and thanks for posting what you have already.

DTOM, if you don't like, to bad
and some other choice words that i would like to say but will bite my tongue

mcmullag - I followed Wil Wagner's lead and made a flag mount which is comprised (2) EMT beam clamps, a 3/4" section of EMT for the mount and a 1/2" length of EMT for the flag pole. See the pics in post # 8 at the link below.

It may be considered "political messaging" in our current situation, but it is legal to display it. According to Federal law, any flag which has been officially adopted at any point in American history may be legally displayed.

Update - We were notified today that our truck won 1st place in the parade for the antique/classic category. There were some pretty nice looking cars and trucks in the competition, but I guess the judges had temporary bout of the OD fever.

And, our appreciation to you and all others whose veins flow patriotic blood.
Amen
