Displaying Her With Etiquette

Don’t forget, regardless of portrait or landscape orientation, the proper way to display the flag (for this purpose) is with the stars on the upper left. The photo on the left, which appears on the back page of today’s North Raleigh Observer, shows a house of patriots who simply rotated their flag 90 degrees. They needed to rotate and flip, like North Hills did, to put the stars in the right place.

    I think flag etiquette is very important. However, these days I’m just pleased to see folks actually displaying the flag!

    For the one with the “X” – Isn’t it correct if looking out their front door though? Depends on your angle of view for that one…
