Charleston, W.Va., Businessman Wants Companies to Display U.S. Flag.
Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
Jun. 14--Ever count the number of American flags visible from Interstate 64 between Charleston and Huntington? Greg Carpenter did and a new business was born.
"Driving through the valley I noticed how many different businesses displayed the United States flag," Carpenter said. "They needed to buy these flags somewhere. Why not locally?"
The American flags visible from the highway, incidentally, numbered 150.
A senior lab technician at the Union Carbide Tech Center in South Charleston, Carpenter developed a healthy dose of pride for his country's flag during a stint in the U.S. Navy where he served as a hospital corpsman.
Carpenter started Luke Enterprises (named after his 3-year-old son) just two years ago. But already he has honed a keen eye for flags that are improperly displayed.
"It really bugs me when I see some businesses let flags fly tattered and torn -- flags that should have been taken down months ago and properly disposed of," Carpenter said. "It's more of a standard of respect rather than an enforcement of law. There are no flag police."
