The Flag on the Hill

I believe I did see some discussion on this topic on Patch a couple of weeks ago but did not see a resolution.  What is the status of replacing the American Flag on the Hill over looking I-80? It is difficult to tell from town if shredded cloth hanging on the pole now was at one time an American Flag..or if it is something else...but no matter it looks disgraceful..Especially preparing to Celebrate Our Countries Independence this coming Thursday! I do not know who had been maintaining the flag but if they need a donation to replace it my family will help!
 Perhaps a Pinole Scout or Scout Troop could take on this project of actually keeping a proper flag flying, and citizens could donate to a flag fund when replacements are needed. Think of the thousands of commuters passing Pinole daily. I would wonder how a community could allow them to think "how disrespectful." If its private property I hope the owners will at least ask for help if needed. Let's showcase the Pride in our Flag it deserves.
