How do I display a US flag vertically? How do you hang an American flag vertically?

-The US flag may be displayed vertically or horizontally. When hanging the US flag vertically like a banner, inside or out, the union (stars) should be at the top to the observer’s left. When hung over a street or on a wall without a flag pole or staff, the US flag should be hung vertically with the union to the north or east. Over a sidewalk, the union should be farthest from the building. If you have a question about flags and flag etiquette email me at [email protected] and perhaps your question will be featured!
