Outdoors
Over the Middle of the Street
It should be suspended vertically with the union to the north
in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south
street.
Flown at Half-staff
Should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then
lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again
raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. By
"half-staff" is meant lowering the flag to one-half
the distance between the top and bottom of the staff. Crepe
streamers may be affixed to spear heads or flagstaffs in a
parade only by order of the President of the United States.
Flown on the Same Halyard with
Non-Nation Flags
The American Flag should always be at the peak. When the flags
are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States
should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or
pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or
to the right of the flag of the United States.
Suspended Over a Sidewalk
The flag may be suspended from a rope extending from a house
to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be
hoisted out, union first, from the building.
From a Staff Projecting
Horizontally or at an Angle
The flag may be projected from the window sill, balcony, or
front of a building, with the union of the flag placed at the
peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff.
In a Parade with Other Flags
The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag, or
flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the
flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in
front of the center of that line.
With Non-National Flags
The flag of the United States of America should be at
the center and at the highest point of the group when a
number of flags of States or localities or pennants of
societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.
With Other National Flags
When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they
are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The
flags should be of approximately equal size. International
usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that
of another nation in time of peace.
With Another Flag Against a Wall
from Crossed Staffs
Should be on the right, the flag's own right which is
the viewer's left, and its staff should be in front of the
staff of the other flag.
Display Indoors
From a Staff in a Church or Public
Auditorium on a Podium
The flag of the United States of America should hold
the position of superior prominence, in advance of the
audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman's or
speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so
displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or
speaker (to the right of the audience).
From a Staff in a Church or Public
Auditorium off the Podium
Custom and not the flag code hold that the flag of the
United States of America should hold the position of superior
prominence as part of the audience, in the position of honor
at the audience's right.
Used to Cover a Casket
It should be so placed that the union is at the head
and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered
into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.
Other than being Flown from a
Staff
The flag should be displayed flat, whether indoors or
out. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against
a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own
right, that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a
window it should be displayed in the same way, that is with
the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the
street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are desired,
bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the
flag. |
