Flag Etiquette
SALUTING THE FLAG
Salute the flag...
When it is six paces from the viewer and hold it until the flag has passed six paces
beyond. Salute the flag at the first note of the National Anthem and hold the salute until
the last note is played. Never use a flag as a decoration – use bunting.
When in civilian attire...
MEN remove hats and hold at left shoulder with hand over heart; without hat, place right
hand, palm open, over heart. WOMEN should place right hand, palm open, over heart. When in
athletic clothing, face the flag or music, remove hat or cap and stand at attention; a
hand salute is not given.
CARRYING THE FLAG
When marching...
Carry the flag on the right in any procession or parade. If there are many other flags,
carry the flag in the front center position.
If you are carrying a flag...
Hold the flag at a slight angle from your body. You can also carry it with one hand and
rest it on your right shoulder.
DISPLAYING THE FLAG OUTDOORS
On a vehicle...
Attach the flag to the antenna or clamp the flagstaff to the right fender. Do not lay the
flag over the vehicle.
On a building...
Hang the flag on a staff or on a rope over the sidewalk with the stars away from the
building.
Over the street...
Hang the flag with the stars to the east on a north- south street or north on an east-west
street.
Above other flags...
Hang the flag above any other flag on the same pole.
Other flags, separate poles...
Hang all flags on equal poles. Hang the U.S. flag on its own right, hoist it first and
lower it last.
In a window...
Hang the flag vertically with the stars to the left of anyone looking at it from the
street.
Half-mast...
This is a sign of mourning. Raise the flag to the top of the pole then lower it to the
half way point. Before lowering the flag, raise it to the top again at the end of the day.
Upside down...
An upside-down flag is considered a distress signal.
DISPLAYING THE FLAG INDOORS
Multiple staffs...
If you display the flag on a staff with other flags around it, place the flag at the
center and highest point. Crossed staffs - Keep the flagstaff higher and on its own right.
Behind a speaker...
Hang the flag flat on the wall. Do not decorate the podium or table with the flag. Use
bunting for decoration.
Next to a speaker...
Place the flag in a stand on the speaker’s right. Use the same placement for a
religious service.
In a hall or lobby...
Hang the flag vertically across from the main entrance with the stars to the left of
anyone coming through the door.
On a casket...
Drape the flag with its canton at the head and over the left shoulder of the body. Do not
lower the flag into the grave.
