Flag Question From My Dad
My Dad wrote an email asking the following:
Dear Folks,
Does anyone know the position of a second flag on a common halyard?
I fly the US flag on top and the POW MIA flag beneath.
A few years back, I wrote a letter to the Flag Code organization in Pittsburgh and did not get an answer.
I have heard various comments relative to that positioning. I can not find it in my code booklet.
I heard originally that it should be a flag height break between flags. I also heard that the flag below the US flag should not be touched by the hanging US flag. I cannot find anything in print with either of those comments.
I was also told that you were not to fly any other flag with the US flag. I know that is bogus according to the flag code. All I could find in the code is that the US flag flies on the top. It just does not seem to specify details of separation. That is what I am looking for!
