I just put an American flag on my porch. It's at a 45 degree angle, not on a pole or the house, but off the edge of the porch. I was just wondering what the correct display times, etc are. Like, what days am I supposed to take it down? What do I do with it when it's supposed to fly at half mast? Things like that. Any help would be appreciated.

Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood

Basically, you are welcome to fly it any way you choose, but if you want to follow some protocol or guidelines, then I think Patton and SC have you covered. It is one of the benefits of living in a free country. |

In America, anyone can be president. That\\\'s one of the risks you take.

That's disgusting.
Improper flag treatment, like the time I saw a town cop let it touch the ground taking it down from City Hall, is a little irritating to me. It's a bit more aggravating if it's willful, and even more aggravating if the guy doing it is the president.
That picture knocked my respect for Bush, which wasn't very high to begin with, down to a whole new low the first time I saw it.

To be fair, though, it's not like he's signing a real flag with any stitching. It's one of those tiny cheap ones...  |

What about if they are real nice with stitching but made in China? Would it have been okay then, too? UHHhuh FreeinTX |

One helpful hint;
Don't let anyone sign it. Please, don't feign outrage when you come from the party that would rather burn it than fly it. |
