Stars and Stripes over Fairhaven<< Back to archives | Monday, March 24, 2008)
It is back. The old wood flagpole blew down in a fierce November 2005 storm. This noon, we raised the flag on the new steel 100 foot tall pole. To give you an idea of size, the hoist on the flag - the vertical measurement - is 20 feet. Double the height of a basketball hoop. A two story building. And the length is 30 feet. A huge flag. We are pleased to have Old Glory flying once again over our little Historic District. A big thank you to all who helped make it possible. One person and his company deserve extra thanks - Mike Hammes and his Ram Construction. He contributed the time of his people and the needed cranes and machinery in an unstinting way. Whatever was needed he provided. Thanks Mike. And thank you to all his employees. |
