Stars and Stripes Forever

The Irving-Las Colinas Rotary Club invites you to join your friends and neighbors in displaying the American Flag on the five major holidays of Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Veteran's Day.

The Flags Over Irving program gives Irving residents an opportunity to show their pride and love for our country. It gives our community a great patriotic spirit and at the same time helps so many people.

So how does it work? A PVC plastic sleeve will be placed in the ground, 15 inches from your sidewalk or curb and mark will be made on the curb with a blue star. On the five holidays a 3 foot x 5 foot U.S. flag, mounted on a 10' metal pole, is placed in the plastic sleeve.

The flags and the sleeves remain the property of the Irving-Las Colinas Rotary Club. There are no brackets or fixtures attached to your home and the plastic sleeve will be barely visible.
