Not boring at all, this is an important topic and a lot of good information we and I know I need to know and be reminded of especially in these times of outright stupidity running wild in our country.
Bruce.
I have taken several (worn) Colors to the VFW, as well.
They have several local "huge boxes" at curbside to receive them.
Thanks.

They could easily use clear tape on both sides of the edges of a flag and this will keep it from shredding from the edges and keep it neat. Do you think this is Ok ?

The only time it's allowed on vehicles that I remember is on the Commander's vehicle on base (not on the interstate at 65mph).
Also, the only time I've seen it allowed to be flown at night is at HQ. I believe 2 lights are recommended.
I have seen the American flag left outside and displayed in the rain. I questioned it, but it seems that there is no definitive answer regarding weather.

Thank you for this. I want to proudly have my flag and now the Israeli flag too on my truck to show support of our veterans, country and Israel.

I live in Vancouver WA. in a 55+ community to and I see that here too.
When displaying the American flag in a vertical position the field of stars should be on the left.
Just a reminder: The flag is just a symbol. All the comments about it being more than that need to read the Preamble to the US Constitution.
I fly the flag because I choose to. The rest is also up to me, as well.

Just a symbol...
Not sure you understand how powerful that is...in either direction.
Perhaps bwana, whose address appears to make him/her a Canadian, would be well advised to leave the discussion of etiquette regarding the US flag to US citizens, particularly those who have spent time in its defense. If bwana is indeed a relocated US person, then apologies and observation withdrawn.

Symbol - as in representation. (Not "substitute".)
