I have received so many complimentary emails & phone calls in response to the American Flags my assistants and I put out in the Spring Lakes neighborhood to recognize Veteran’s Day.  Some people have told me they’ll keep them and put them out on the next flag holiday.  Others have told me how much more enjoyable their jog or bike ride went on Veteran’s Day.  I appreciate all of your positive feedback.  I love this neighborhood and wanted to commemorate the holiday and share in it with all of you – my friends and neighbors.  Many of you know my husband is a Veteran of two wars, so the holiday has great meaning for us personally.  I did have one person complain about marketing with a flag, but our Coldwell Banker United, Realtors owner Richard Smith is a proud Veteran that fully supports this Coldwell Banker tradition.  However, in the future, the U.S. Flag Holiday Service will be placing flags in Spring Lakes for a fee of $40 per year that supports the local Boy Scout Troop.  Their service begins on President’s Day 2010.  To learn more or sign up you can email Assistant Scoutmaster Phil Cherry at SpringTroop594@gmail.com or call 713.677.1814.  Thank you Spring Lakes for making our neighborhood an easy sell.  You make it easy for buyers to want to move here.  You can visit http://BuySpringLakes.com to see how I can showcase your home to sell even in a down market.

I was at our neighborhood Halloween Carnival this afternoon and met a Boy Scout Troop (#594) that has a very interesting fund raiser. For $40/year, they will display a 4 ft x 6 ft American flag in your yard on Presidents’ Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans’ Day. They will put up the flag early in the morning and take it down at night on those holidays.

They not only operate in Spring Lakes, but several surrounding neighborhoods. They said their area is roughly the Spring High School area. If you are interested, here is their contact information:
