On October 13th, 2006, the Marine Corps League of Franklin presented a Certificate of Recognition to Drake Enterprises for proudly displaying the American Flag while following proper flag etiquette. Properly flying the American Standard requires the flag be raised in the morning and lowered in the evening, or if left up overnight, must be well illuminated. Also, the flag should not be flown during inclement weather unless it is an all-weather flag. Pictured are Garry Hancock and Steve Maney of Drake Enterprises, who care for the American Flag, and Lee Cloer of the Marine Corps League presenting them with the framed Certificate of Recognition.
