Discussions: Time change to 7PM CDT starting 14 Mar. AG5CC commented about a neighbor who had a flag in need of repair or replacement. He searched the Legion's website and found the Flag Replacement Postcard available through Emblem Sales. which anonymously notifies the owner that the flag would benefit from repairs or replacement and they can take the flag to the local AL post for proper retirement.

There were 11 check-ins with 3 new check-ins. Net was closed at 1853 CST.
