FlagStoreUSA returned my call this morning, just shortly after they opened. Guy was super friendly, said they've been selling like hotcakes he just ordered 1,000 more. Also said Anin may have been rushing them out the door due to high demand. I told him no problem, how do I swap it out. He said he would put new one in the mail to me with a return label so he could return to Anin. I told him I left it up this morning when I left for work and asked if I could fly it until the replacement arrived. He said absolutely, no problem.

Boom, ahead by a nose at the finish line, I had mine rasised at 07:30, where it will stay until replacement comes. Super cool to send replacement ahead of getting return, and even cooler he said I could leave it up.

Now, the important question, when are you updating For 27 years....? I want to see them both up at sunrise or sunset.

Yes, that's correct. The "real" Gadsden flag does not have the apostrophe.

Grammatically wrong, historically correct.

Cool. Glad to hear they're treating you well. I need to replace the flag I've had for 27 years. It's starting to show its age. Time to retire it. Perhaps I'll give FlagStoreUSA a shot.

Welllll... that's arguable. I had my flags, sans defects, yesterday morning at 11:26 EDT, so...

I'll see what I can do.

Actually, as I implied, above: The Betsy Ross flag was not intended to replace the regular flag. I expect to fly it probably only on Independence Day--along with the Gadsden flag underneath. On the other occasions I'll fly a current flag with a State of Michigan flag underneath.
