I understand the flag "code" is merely a guideline & doesn't have the force of law.

Also, don't misunderstand my position: it is based on a perspective of showing proper respect for the flag, not a perspective opposed to displaying the flay.

I have a flag flying from the driveway light pillar at my house (all weather flag, properly lit for after dark) and one flying from my Jeep (right side, secured to the roll cage, not just clipped to the window). I replace them when they begin so show wear.

But, the flag does not belong on team uniforms or on umpire hats. Perhaps... perhaps with a liberal interpretation of the listed groups who can display a flag on their unifirm, it could be properly worn as a sleeve patch, but that's it, IMO.
