Sorry boy, I don't have to measure them, I know for a fact they are equal in heighth. I realize they shouln't be the same heighth, but now that they are, there is a correct order they should be in. Dave

The American flag must ALWAYS fly higher than any other flag.
Except the flag of a church or other religious organization.

From the US Code:
§175. Position and manner of display (c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy.... (e) 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.

I saw a LTC nearly blow a head gasket when the ROTC cadets mistakenly lowered the American flag first, then the cadre flag.

Another pet peeve of mine is the flag flying at half-staff without the proper authorization.

I'm a member of a private golf/tennis club. It's membership is getting pretty grey in the hair. SO we have lots of oldtimers passing. They always have the flag at half-staff for members that have died. Does it matter if they were military vets ? |

If circumstances do not allow for the American flag to be flown higher than others, the American flag should be flown so no other flags are to the American flag's own right, which would be to a persons left when they approach the flags. Dave

So just checking up on this.
So flying the flag in bad weather is okay ? Flying the flag at night is ok as long as it is properly lighted ? Is there a standard for when a flag needs to be replaced, for example when it becomes ragged around the edges ? |
