What is this flag, and why is it flown above Old Glory?

[kiddchaos]

The US Flag Code wasn't adopted until 1923.
USFlag.org: A website dedicated to the Flag of the United States of America - United States Code
In PDF format, it is 17 pages long.

The Constitution is 14 pages including the first 10 amendments. 14 pages to create an entire federal government and yet it takes 17 pages to write a flag code? What is wrong with this picture?

Agreed! And people may consider it disrespectful, but it is freedom of speech.

Nah, not in 'Murica. The Flag Code, not law, code trumps a person's right to be free from criminal trespass and property damage.

Maybe the person doesn't know the Flag Code??? Has anyone who has seen it or drove by stopped to ask if they know that they are not following the proper conduct of the Flag Code....could be they would make it correct an thank you....they at least have the American flag displayed, so I would find it strange that they hate America.....perhaps just ignorance on their part.....don't know if you don't talk to them....if it were my nieghbors I would chat with them about it.....at least they ain't got some Confederate Flag waiving.................lol.

 

[Titanium_Frost]

And the death of freedom of speech starts with "patriots?"

...or did you forget your purple? God, I hope you forgot your purple.

I'm with you there. Pathetic how many people on INGO want anything they don't agree with to be illegal.

Nothing at all wrong with flying the Stars and Bars of a Rebel.

I swear you guys will anything to ***** about.

INDY_GUY_77.....you drive by twice a day. Just stop by and ask them to switch it around, or stop by a neighbor's house and ask them to tell their neighbor.

This, how hard is it to simply inform the guy he's doing it wrong.

Spoil sport...

Tell me you wouldn't like to do a Night Raid and DET Cord the Flag pole....

The flag in post #20 is showing Mexico busting through and taking over the USA. Which it is.

 

[karatejoe]

I live in Greenwood. tell me where you saw it. I just want to see it in person. I promise I want do anything to the flag.Thats my story and Im sticking to it.

The house appears to be an investment home and rented out. Doesn't really change much, just more info. BTW, no light on the flag at night.

With this piece of information, I'm gonna go with ignorant of the proper way to fly the flag. It also makes it a less confrontational confrontation to let the guy know his error. Let him know the light requirement and then casually mention that the proper place of honor for the flag is the top position on the pole as well.

This, how hard is it to simply inform the guy he's doing it wrong.

And violate the MYOB man-law? You're drunk, aren't you?

 

[Audie Murphy]

Brothers let us not argue among ourselves.Lets just tear that piece of $*&t down.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Easier just not to fly one. Hate to be flying one and my porch light burn out or it start raining while I am sleeping and some flag nazi decide he needs to make an ass out of himself.

 

[atvdave]

Just copy & print this, and stick in their mail box. That way you don't have to have a face to face confrontation with them just in-case there a bunch of A--'s.

Displaying the flag outdoors

• When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag, the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea.
• When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the street runs north-south, the stars should face east. For streets running east-west, the stars should face north. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag's union should be farthest from the building and the stars facing away from it.
• When flown with flags of states, communities or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor—to its own right. The other flags may be the same size but none may be larger.
• No other flag should be placed above it. The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered.
• When flown with the national banner of other countries, each flag must be displayed from a separate pole of the same height. Each flag should be the same size. They should be raised and lowered simultaneously. The flag of one nation may not be displayed above that of another nation in time of peace.
• The flag should be raised briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously.
• Ordinarily it should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset, although the Flag Code permits night time display "when a patriotic effect is desired." Similarly, the flag should be displayed only when the weather is fair, except when an all weather flag is displayed. (By presidential proclamation and law, the flag is displayed continuously at certain honored locations like the United States Marine Corps Memorial in Arlington and Lexington Green.)
• It should be illuminated if displayed at night.
• The flag of the United States of America is saluted as it is hoisted and lowered. The salute is held until the flag is unsnapped from the halyard or through the last note of music, whichever is the longest.

[hoosierdoc]

Not my flag, not my property...WHO CARES?????

But I was not a trade unionist...

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

This ain't my thread - I'm not stopping. I don't have a dog in this "fight".

That driveway is a BEAR to get out of.

As far as it not being illuminated: I do think that both flags are taken down at night. I've looked in the AM when I come to work - just out of curiosity. I can't see even the shadows of the flags. Could be wrong, though.

Indy_Guy, where is it at?

 

[stephen87]

Yep. I don't agree with anyone carrying a gun, let's start an uprising to make it illegal.

In terms of flying the American Flag in the rain. That only pertains to flags made of cotton. If the flag is made of nylon, then you can fly it during rain, if you wish to do so. We flew our flag at our station no matter what the conditions.
