National Flag Display Program

The American Legion, Brown-Cavender Post #148, invites you to join us in the displaying of the American Flag on the days and dates listed below.

Our Post uses this program as a way to raise funds for our veterans programs, youth and community programs, and Post orientated programs. In addition to raising awareness on displaying the American Flag.

Post #148 will place a Flag and flagpole (weather permitting) in front of your business or home by 7:00 a.m. and remove it by 6:00 p.m. the same day allowing for dawn to dusk display. The fee is $40.00 per year.

Post #148 will provide and maintain a 4’ x 6’ Flag, a 10’ flagpole and holder (if one is not installed in the sidewalk by the City of Mason) as part of the agreement. The agreement is subject to renewal in February of each year.

Please join us in displaying the American Flag proudly. Thank you for your support of the American Legion Post #148, and your patronage. To participate in this program please use this form.
