US Flag Etiquette

Placed on a Podium The flag should be placed on the speaker’s right or the staging area. Other flags should be placed to the left. |
Flown at half-staff When flown at half-staff during a period of national mourning the flag is first hoisted to the top of the pole for a moment and then lowered to half-staff. At the end of the day the flag is first raised again to the top and then lowered. |
Flown with state or other flag When an American flag is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag – state, community, or society – the U.S. flag must always be on the top. |
