[quote=Anonymous]I think the American flag is beautiful.  If you have it displaying all the time then my impression is that you might be a bit lazy; our old neighbor followed the steps daily and she was in her 70s daily until she passed away.

Your neighbor is likely following the traditional guidelines for displaying the U.S. flag. According to the
U.S. Flag Code, it is considered respectful practice to display the flag from sunrise to sunset and to only display it at night if it is properly illuminated [1]. 
Therefore, taking the flag down at night is the correct procedure for individuals who do not have a light source to properly illuminate the flag after sundown. 
The Flag Code provides the following guidelines regarding the time and manner of display:

Daytime Display: The flag should be displayed daily on clear days, especially from sunrise to sunset [1].
    Nighttime Display: If the flag is displayed at night, it is required to be "properly illuminated" [1].

Your neighbor's actions demonstrate adherence to these time-honored customs and respect for the flag.[/quote]
