Star Spangled Banner Yet Waves

This is one of our project sites and I thought this photo was worth sharing. We managed to get the flag straight on our second try. Our fingers looked like pincushions after sewing it. Anyone recognize this place?

_{Cool picture. I'd make a dam guess but they all look the same dam thing to me.}

_{Thanks for sharing.}

Thanks for posting the pic Danger, and a great idea to put it up there. I assume the pic is of Table Rock Dam? I will also say that getting that secured to the Dam was rather difficult.

Nicely done. Both the flag and the dam are a testament to American determination and achievement.

It does resemble TR. I'm supervised they let you do it, or did they have a say?

At any rate, great job!

Can't fool you guys. It is indeed Table Rock Dam. We added the flag not long after the cowardly attacks of 9/11. We were renovating the steel tainter gates, trunnions and hoisting equipment. You can see a completed gate on the left and old ones on the right. The tarps are for preventing debris falling in the water.

We were required to prepare a submittal requesting permission - but we had been told nobody at the corp would sign off on it. There was fear it would make the structure a terrorist target.

Somehow I just couldn't get that submittal sent to the right address or department for many months.

Thanks for sharing DC & thanks for hanging the flag.

Thank you for your patriotism and love of country, DC.
