Our story on the tattered flag at Hart Park has really hit some nerves.

Eva Hayward wrote in to say her husband took down to county Parks and Rec Wednesday a flag they had bought at a silent auction that had flown over the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

It might be too big a flag, though, the county folks said.

A man, Mike Rand, called me to say he's offering up a 6-by-10 flag that he recently purchased.

And we got some letters to the editor. One said she has gone to a number of businesses saying they needed to replace their flags and most did. Another said he thought the old Hart Park  tattered flag was beautiful.

UPDATE: County Parks and Recreation Director Bob Lerude said various people brought in four replacement flags Wednesday. They'll be used at other facilities as the Hart Park flag was replaced Tuesday.

People are really patriotic about these things!
