Again, that's mighty nice of you, but don't you think the owner of that land should have some say? I'm not saying this guy doesn't deserve a flag... he does.
But WHERE the flag goes up is for the owner of the property to decide. Apoc had a good solution though. Let the guy put up the flag and then tear it down when he passes. Seems like a good compromise but again, it's up the the owner to allow that to happen.
