• If the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a building, the union should be at the peak, unless flown at half mast. When flown from a halyard over a sidewalk from a building pole, the flag should be hoisted union first from the building. 
 

• The National Flag should be placed in the center, and higher, when displayed with a group of state, local or organizational flags flown from staffs. 
 

• If the flag is displayed flat on a speaker’s platform, it should be placed behind and above the speaker with the union to the speaker’s right. 
 

• When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. 

• When displayed from a staff in an church or public auditorium, the flag should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience and in the position of honor at the priest’s or speaker’s right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the priest or speaker or to the right of the audience. 
 

• When displaying the flag against the wall with another flag, the U.S. Flag will be on its right (the viewer’s left) with its staff crossing over the staff of the other flag. 
 

• During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their head-covering with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there. 
 

• When flags of states, cities or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the National Flag or to its right. 
 

• When carried in procession with other flags, the National Flag should be on the marching right. If there is a line of other flags, it should be center forward of that line. The U.S. Flag should always be staffed flowing freely when carried on a float. 
 

• When the flag covers a casket, the union should be at the head over the left shoulder. During burial, the flag must not touch the ground nor be lowered into the grave. To fly at half staff, the flag should be hoisted to the peak, then lowered. The opposite applies when lowering the flag from half staff. 
 

• When the flag is passing in parade, being hoisted or lowered, all present should face it, stand at attention and salute: uniformed persons render the military salute; women and uncovered men place their right hand over their hearts. Men should remove their hats, holding them over their hearts with their right hands. 
 

• No flag or pennant will be flown above or to the right of the U.S. Flag at the same level, except the church pennant. This pennant may be flow above the flag during religious services at sea. 

• When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they should be the same size and flown from separate staffs. Customs forbids the flag of one nation to fly over another in peacetime. 

• Although the flag should be a distinctive feature at an unveiling of a statue or monument, it should never be used as the covering or veil.
