Memorial Day on May 28 marks the start of the year's "flag-flying season," including Flag Day, Independence Day and Days of '47 activities, although Old Glory may be flown any time.
The Deseret News offers American and state flags, both measuring 3 by 5 feet. The U.S. flag is made of sewn stripes and printed stars and comes in a kit that includes a sturdy pole and bracket for mounting to a home or building.The Utah flag, silk screened in its full colors, is not available with a pole; however, flag etiquette permits the flying of the state flag below Old Glory on the same pole.
Cost for the U.S. flag is $15.10 by mail or $13.60 when purchased at the Deseret News office, 30 E. 100 South. The Utah state flag may be purchased at $13.25 by mail or $12 at the office. To order by mail, use the order form on this page.
