Our History

The Flag Man, Robert Martin Henry Hofer was born on 2-22-27 to John & Martha Hofer in Burlington. Coincidently his future bride was born on the same day in Germany. After a normal childhood, he graduated from BHS in1945. He served his country in WWII in Germany from1945 to 1948.

Bob met Margot Trudl Gregori-Schaefer in the hospital where she worked as a secretary and translator for American military doctors. He would bring papers to her for her to process. Smitten by this lovely German girl, he asked her for a date. “Absolutely out of the question,” said Margo. “I fancied myself as a good German, and as far as I was concerned Americans were still the enemy. I had my nose up in the air. I wasn’t going to date Americans.” However, that did not deter Bob. He re-enlisted so that he could have more time to court her. He began playing the “secret admirer” and put fruit in the top drawer of her desk before she arrived at work. She just could not find out the identity of this secret admirer until she took an early train to work one day and caught him in the act.

Flag Etiquette

American Flag On A Flag Pole

How to Fly the Flag

The flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Never, raise the flag while it is furled; unfurl, then hoist quickly to the peak of the flagstaff. It should be lowered slowly and ceremoniously. The flag should never be allowed to touch anything beneath it, such as the ground or the floor. No other flag may be flown above The United States flag. If the flag is displayed from a staff projected from a window sill, balcony or front of a building, the union (blue field) of the flag should go to the peak of the staff (unless the flag is to be displayed at half-staff). When the flag is displayed in any manner other than being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. If displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right; that is to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window it should be suspended in the same way-that is, with the union to the left of the observer in the street.

How to Dispose of Worn Flags

When a flag is in such a condition, through wear or damage, that is no longer a fitting emblem for display such as being torn, tattered or faded, it should be destroyed privately in a dignified manner, or taken to a designated receptacle where it would be collected and disposed of by appropriate means.

Displaying U.S. Flag in a Church

When it is displayed on the pulpit or chancel in a church, the flag should be flown from a staff placed on the clergyman’s right as he faces the congregation. All other flags on the pulpit or chancel should be on his left.
