Section 8j covers pins - its like a patch for military, police, fd, etc. It has a specific location, left side, above the heart. Decorative/apparel type wear should not be a flag, but colored like bunting. Its more appropriate, technically. Having a flag on a shirt, for example, makes it a flag... and then (this is how it gets silly) should be treated the same way. Flag shirts would be disposed of in a respectful way, must be lit up at all times, and if you wear it at night, bring a flashlight to shine it on your shirt . I'm serious though :P |

Its not harmless; flying one country's flag below another is a sign of aggression - this isn't just the US that abides by this rule you know..

There is a house that I saw on a fairly main road in Cherry Hill, that is empty (I think fairly new foreclosure) with no realtor sign.
There is a flag waving on the property that is literally torn to ribbons. It is very disrespectful. I am tempted to go take it down as there is a flag disposal ceremony next week in Runnemede. I am afraid I will get in trouble. It really is a horrible sight. ![]() Shanny |

Cu, like I was saying , it has officially made it "OK" to leave the flag out in all weather as long as it is lit in darkness. If the etiquette says its OK, doesn't that make it OK?
The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all-weather flag is displayed. |

Just a note
If you really want a flag that will standup to abuse get one intended for mounting on a boat...a power boat for example... They will take the UV from the sun, the wind, the rain...cost a bit more but will really last while mantaining it's good looks. BoatUS, or Westmarine for example.... ![]() |

A Storm Flag is 5' x 9.5' where on normal days the Post Flag would be flown which is a generous 8' 11 3/8 x 17'. On special days the Garrison Flag is flown and measures a gigantic 20' x 38' (those are by far my favorite flags). Here is a link to all different types of flags. ~J |
