What is the appropriate height to fly the American Flag on a flagpole?
There is not a set height that the American Flag needs to be flown at, but it does need to be flown at the top of the flagpole. If other flags, such as State or POW/MIA, are flown around the American flag then the American flag needs to be flown above the other flags.
Is the American flag supposed to be flown higher than other flags?
This will all depend on which flag is flying alongside or below the American flag. If being flown with flags of other nations, they should all be raised to the same height and are never to be flown on the same pole. If being flown with a state, city or organizational flag, the US flag will fly above the other flag in a larger size. On most standard sized flagpoles, the American flag will be a 3'x5' flag and the other flag will be a 2'x3' flag. If the US flag is flying along a different flag on separate flagpoles, the flags can be of equal height but the US flag will then need to fly on the extreme left of the other flags. This left side is known to be a prominent flag. When flown with flagpoles displaying non-national flags, the American flag will be raised first and lowered last. There is a link below.
