I hope the contractor had insurance. The pole needed a paint job. Maybe we can get a new flag pole out of this! LOL

Yep the pole needs to be replaced. The top 10-20 feet started out slightly bent this morning and it's been getting worse as the day progresses.

they've now got it flagged off so you aren't in the drop zone... i'll be surprised if it doesn't break off by morning.

How thoughtful of this contractor to donate and install a new electroplated, made in America flagpole complete with finial delivered before Christmas.

Seems rather unlikely it'll get done by christmas let alone graduation...besides where are we going to find another flag pole donated by Adolf Hitler?

Seriously I do hope the responsible contractor has the proper insurance end the contract between them and the Academy ...

They Academy should post something on the official web site about this. Why is it we find out about it only on College Confidential and Face Book? Hint, hint, KP.

Under "Campus new" on the KP web site, the latest news story is dated 03/24/2007 and it is about Admiral Cosgrif assuminfg command in the Middle East. You mean to tell me that there has been no new news since then? Get the Mids to take over the KP web site because I bet they could do a better job than this. I heard that there was a flag pole down....
