According to Comcast Texas' website, a group of employees recently launched a flag replacement program in Greater Houston. The employees are part of a resource group called VetNet, which consists of veterans, military family as well as active reserve service members, and other military supporters.

The website explained that if a Comcast technician notices a worn American flag, they may notify VetNet, who will then reach out to the business or homeowner to offer a free replacement.
"The business owner or homeowner does not need to be a Comcast customer," officials explained on the website. "The individual can keep the worn flag or turn it over to VetNet – which will gladly retire it with honor in partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars."
