ABSTRACT:
A method for honoring the Flag and Nation for which it stands is accomplished by having a weather cap and protective flag housing upon a flag staff such that a cabling and winching system will, via a pulley and bar-ring supporting, spring-return, slidingly captured, internal staff insert, move the housing and insert in opposite directions along the staff, the housing enveloping the Flag, the Flag being furled along the staff by a flag attached, flying flag cord passing through the moving ring, until the housing mates with the weather cap, protecting the Flag. Reversing the winch lowers the housing, permits the spring-return insert to move, unfurling the Flag, thus honorably displaying the Flag.
