If you sell into the fire apparatus industry, I highly encourage you to subscribe to Paul Darley's bi-monthly reports. There's lots of insight on trends in the fire apparatus space, including current lead times on new fire apparatus (some OEMs are forecasting 4+ year delivery times!). This beneficial information can help with your team's overall strategic planning and forecasting. #Darley

Do you know why we fly our flags at half-staff on certain days? It's a common sight not just for Americans but for people all over the world. Flying flags at half-staff, or half-mast, is a symbolic gesture used to honor or commemorate individuals or events of national or international importance. This practice is believed to date back to early naval traditions, where ships would lower their flags to indicate mourning for a fallen captain. The term 'half-mast' once referred to a flag being flown halfway up a ship's mast but is now used interchangeably with the term 'half-staff.' Today, the practice of flying flags at half-staff has become a widespread tradition all over the world to commemorate significant events or individuals. #Flags #UShistory #TheMoreYouKnow #MemorialDay
