What is the proper way to fly the American Flag when other flags are flown with it?

From what I have seen; The American Flag if you are American should be flown as you are facing it on the Left of all other flags. I have also heard that the American flag should be flown higher than flags of other countries. Again only in America. The flag should also be clean and not worn out. Worn out American flags should be burned, if you take a worn US Flag to any US Post office they should take it from you and have it destroyed properly.\n\nI do not have any references and this information just comes from what I have seen and heard.

Firstly the UK has four different Nations each with a different legal system (Scoland, Wales, England and Ireland), there is no lwa in any the prohibits the flying of a flag specifically, however, some peole may fall foul of local building codes etc. \n\nI personally fly the Salitre (The scottish flag) on my property and feel that it is one of the many patrotric things that we would do well to incoporate from the USA.

The flag is not flapping in the wind.  It is moving becuase of the momentum imparted by opening the flagpole, stretching out the flag itself, and then the drilling motion used to put the flagpole in the ground.\n\nThe flag keeps on moving because there's no atmosphere to STOP it.\n\ngo see www.badastronomy.com for more truth

Yes it does.\nHowever US Flag Code is merely a suggestion, and is not legally binding.\nYou have a constitutional right to display the flag in ANY manner -- respectful or not.\nSupreme court have said that BURNING the flag is constitutionally protected as free speech -- therefore it safe to say that displaying the flag in any other manner is also protected.[1]

To be on the safe side, treat it with the same respect as the US flag.  To dispose of the US flag the proper way is to burn it or mail it to a Flag Disposal organization (which does the burning)  ie. this link

I think so, this is the United States of America, if you're in this country flying and marching under foreign colors, and otherwise maintaining allegiance to some other state, maybe you want to reconsider...I think americans are tired of having foreign flags waved contemptuously under their noses, if you want to anger the majority of actual bona-fide american citizens, just keep it up...

It depends on the where it is being worn.  The flag is always worn as though it was advancing forward.  Because it should never be retreating.

It doesn't have to be burned if it touches the ground.  If a flag somehow touches the ground, it can be just picked up and set right.  If it has gotten dirty, it can be washed.\n\nThese things happen.  Burning the flag is the way to "retire" it after normal wear and tear makes it unseemly to display it.

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.

Just like ships, aircraft have position lights to indicate left (red) or right (green). Most things aeronautical stem from shipboard tradition and this is the case here. It helps to distinguish which direction the craft is flying at night.\n\nIt's is true that the flag is painted as if it were in a wind from the viewer right. If the wind were from the viewers left, it would appear correctly. (Just like on a real flagpole.)

Folding the flag:\n\nFlags, when not in use, should be folded into a triangle shape. The final triangle shape result is said to invoke the image of the three-point hats popular during the American Revolutionary War. Former American territories, e.g. the Philippines, also use this method to fold their flags.\n\nFolding the US Flag\n1. To properly fold the flag, begin by holding it waist-high with another person so that its surface is parallel to the ground. \n2. Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars, holding the bottom and top edges securely. \n3. Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside. \n4. Make a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open top edge of the flag. \n5. Turn the outer end point inward, parallel to the open edge, to form a second triangle. \n6. The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner. \n7. When the flag is completely folded, only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible.

has to be right side up.  i.e.moon and star on top left corner.  not to let it touch the ground when bringing it down.  to be taken down at night and in bad weather.  I don't think there's a particular procedure for folding it, unlike the American flag.\n\ntry an internet search.  might be a little hard to do.  my quick search turned up little

If the flag is an United States of America, the proper disposal is to burn the flag.  If you are an American and feel uneasy about doing that, call a local Vet's organization, they may do it for you. (I remember seeing something on the news that they do this).  If it is another nation's flag, I would would also burn it. It sounds strange, but it is the most repsectful.
