Flying the flag at half staff is an area of flag etiquette that most people want to make sure they get right. It is also an area for which the road to error is routinely paved with good intentions. . \n\nFLYING THE FLAG AT HALF STAFF: The pertinent section of the Flag Code says, "by order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half staff according to Presidential orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law. \n\nIn the event of the death a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, the Governor of that state, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half staff." The code also includes other related details including the specific length of time during which the flag should be displayed at half staff, in the event of the death of a "principal figure"(e.g., 30 days for the death of a sitting or former President, 10 days for the death of a sitting Vice President, etc.). \n\nGOOD FAITH MISUNDERSTANDINGS: Although the code is actually pretty clear, confusion continues to occur. For example, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno recently ordered the American Flag flown at half staff on all U.S. Department of Justice buildings, in honor of several DEA agents who had died. While NFF understands this gesture, the Flag Code does not give Attorney General Reno the authority to issue that order. Closer to NFF's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania home, Mayor Tom Murphy ordered all flags flown at half staff to honor the victims of a plane crash. Here again, a well intentioned gesture, but one for which no authority exists. NFF points out these "good faith misunderstandings" not to criticize or embarrass anyone, but rather to head off a growing trivialization of this memorial salute, and to preserve the dignity and significance of flying the U.S. flag at half staff. \n\nProper respect for our flag must be maintained no matter the circumstances. \n\nWe owe that respect to our living, our dead and our flag.

If it is your national flag no other flag should be higher. It should be taken down before dark (or have a light on it.) It shoul be taken down in the rain or other bad weather. Do not fly a worn or torn flag, dispose of the flag properly when worn. When not being flown never allow to touch the ground, and fold properly.

Texas entered the union on December 29, 1845 by TREATY with the US government not annexation like all of the other states. It is for this reason that Texas is the only state allowed to fly its flag at the same height as the Star Spangled Banner.

Arizona and Hawaii!\n\n"Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time. This choice does make sense for the areas closer to the equator because the days are more consistent in length throughout the year."

Flag Day, which is celebrated every June 14th because on June 14,1777 the first flag of the US was dedicated.

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.

Ohio is the only one of the 50 states to use a nonrectangular flag. Its designer, John Eisenmann, may have been inspired by the swallow-tailed shape of a guidon that was carried by the U.S. cavalry. The flag was to be flown from the Ohio building at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901, a circumstance that may also have contributed to its unusual shape.

I don't care how many flags are flying as long as the American flag is the highest.  That is the way it is suppose to be, American flag the highest followed by the state flag and anything else you want to sent up as long as they do not fly at the same level.

probably because of the 12 tourists who died in a bus accident in Chile.  US casualties of war don't rate flags at half staff.. if that were the case, the flag would have been at half staff every day since we invaded 4 years ago.

If I remember correctly the American Flag goes on the observers left of stage and the state flag is on the right.\n\nQ:What should be the position of the flag when displayed from a staff in a church, public auditorium or other public meeting place, whether indoors or outdoors, on platform, or on the floor at ground level?\n\nA: When used on a speaker's platform, the flag, if displayed flat, should be displayed above and behind the speaker. When displayed from a staff in a church, public auditorium or meeting place, the flag 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. Prior to the Flag Code changes in 1976, the display procedure was somewhat different. Now the staffed flag should always be placed to the right of the speaker (observer's left) without regard to a platform or floor level.

The correct procedure is that the flag is raised to the top of the mast/flag pole as normal and then lowered to half mast.

I don't know which flag you are asking about, but if any flag has to fly, that should be a USA flag. It was in USA when, 2 centuries ago, workers went on national strike because they were made to work over 12 hours a day. They demanded to work at least 8 hours a day. Many people had to die during that strike, fired at by policemen, before their demand was granted. So, that strike was supported by many people from all over the world, which is the reason why today May 01 is Workers Holiday all over the world.
