Flag for a Flag

Flag for Flag - Webpage Main Graphic.jpg

The wind and weather of South Texas can take a toll on the American flags we display with pride. KRIS 6 and our neighborhood community partners are doing something about that!

We’ve teamed up to create “Flag for a Flag.” Through this flag exchange program, you can exchange your 3’x5’ or larger faded, worn, or tattered American flag for a new 3’x5’ American flag… for free! Just bring your old flag to one of our exchange locations this Wednesday, June 12, 2024. Flag for a Flag exchange locations in your neighborhood are listed below.

We will exchange your old flag with a new one, and we will make sure your old flag is retired with the honor it deserves. Then, you can fly your new American flag with pride on National Flag Day, June 14!

We want to thank our neighborhood community partners Nueces County, Mike Shaw Kia, Mike Shaw Toyota, NEC Co-op Energy and Peerless Cleaners.

A few quick rules:

  1. Flags to be exchanged must be a 3’x5’ or larger American flag.
  2. One new flag will be exchanged per household.
  3. The new flags will be available at the exchange locations only while supplies last.
  4. By participating in the “Flag for a Flag” exchange event and by being on-site, you acknowledge and give your permission for your likeness and/or voice to be used on television, digital, and print applications by KRIS Communications, The E.W. Scripps Company, and its interests, and by the event sponsors for news, advertising, and promotional purposes.
