DUNCAN VFW Post 1192, which assumed the duties of placing American flags in front of every home and business that wants one during official holidays, had its first excercise in the endeavor during Martin Luther King Day.

I think it went real well, said Tom Morse, VFW commander. I think word of mouth will pick up as the months go on.

Forty-eight flags were displayed on Monday for the King holiday.

The VFW post took over the flag distribution progam from the Duncan Jaycees, which has disbanded.

The veterans group will distribute and display flags for seven other holidays this year: Presidents Day on Feb. 17, Memorial Day on May 26, Flag Day on June 14, Fourth of July, Labor Day on Sept. 1, Columbus Day Oct. 13, and Veterans Day Nov. 11.

Morse said he hopes more than 100 flags are requested by years end.

Flags are displayed from 8 a.m. to about 8 p.m. each holiday. The VFW charges a $50 fee to furnish a flag for the eight holidays during the year, Morse said.

I would like to get all the businesses down (U.S. Highway) 81 and Main Street to put flags up, Morse said.

The 3-by-5 foot flags are displayed on 7-foot poles, but the VFW also will provide flag holders if requested, he said.

The flags will not be displayed during inclement weather, he added.
