The great thing about today's Flag of the Day is that it is not only is it a great display but it is also a great tip! Wilmette Public Works building has an older flagpole, but the components and just right. The double truck originally held two sets of halyard for the option to fly two or more flags. Over time, one of the ropes broke, however, because it is a double truck, they can still fly a flag without bringing in a lift truck. This is a great way to get security from flagpole break down, as well as options for special holidays and other instances when you want to fly multiple flags. This is a beach-front property so heavy storms come in a few times a year, we replaced the rope with wire-center halyard for durability.
