A device for mounting a flag to a vehicle comprising:
- (a) a staff base, the staff base being generally cylindrical and elongated along an axis, the staff base having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the staff base further having an opening extending into the distal portion of the staff base to receive a flag staff;
- (b) a base tab affixed to the proximal portion of the staff base and extending outwardly therefrom;
- (c) a mounting clip, the mounting clip having a clip tab extending outwardly therefrom, a fastener, and a pair of opposed mounting tabs, the mounting tabs each having a concentric through-hole to accept the fastener, the opposed mounting tabs being positionable on either side of a portion of the vehicle, wherein the fastener is insertable through the concentric through-holes and tightened to draw the mounting tabs toward each other to secure the pair of opposed mounting tabs around a portion of the vehicle;
- (d) a pliable support pad having a pair of slots therein, the support pad being shaped as a semi-circular arc and positioned between the mounting tabs such that the through-holes and the pair of slots are concentrically aligned;
