Spectrum Technicians launch "Project Stars and Stripes" U.S. flag replacement
Spectrum Technicians are swapping out tattered American flags for free! The company launched "Project Stars and Stripes" this week in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, and surrounding areas.
If a tech sees a torn, faded, or frayed flag out front, they can knock and offer a new one. If you say "yes", they swap it and retire the old flag properly according to the U.S. flag code. There is no cost to participate and you don't have to be a spectrum customer.
The idea began in Las Vegas in 2021 with the veterans employee group at Cox Communications, and it now reaches 45 states.
