Riverside and Hill Harbor Marinas, are home to the USCG Aux Flotilla 091-18-07 (Detroit). They had a bare flagpole. We donated a National Ensign to fly proudly. The pole need repair, the center rigging is jammed, so we raised it on another portion. Other halyards are also in need of repair. After repair, we will fly the US Flag center top, the State of Michigan, The USCG Aux, and the Marina flags.
The Marina Rep was on hand and is happy to see the colors flying once again !!
