when the flag is only half way up,it is called flying at "half staff".(The staff is the flagpole.)This is done to honor someone important who has died.
I have had a flag pole for years, I broke the flag toward the bottom, now I cannot get my rope thru the roller?
Its called putting it at half mast. Usually they do it when someone important dies. When the poep died, I know that they do that for him.
If you are on land, the curch flag flies under the US flag, so the US flag goes up first. If you are in the US Navy and on a ship, then the Church pennant goes above the National Ensign and thus goes up first.
She didn't make the flag. This is a story her grandson made up in 1870. Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the flag. The first flag was made for the navy in 1776 and it was a basic British flag with stripes. The second flag had stars where the British flag had a cross.
No. This is a story her grandson made up. Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the flag. The first flag was made for the navy in 1776 and it was a basic British flag with stripes. The second flag had stars where the British flag had a cross.
This is another American fable about our history. Ross did not make the flag nor did Washington design it. Her grandson made up the story and has come to us as truth. Congress gives credit to Francis Hopkinson who designed the first flag for the navy in 1776. It was a basic British Union flag with stripes and our second flag replaced the cross on the British flag with stars. The colors do not stand for anything contrary to the Boy Scout handbook.

The rule is that the American flag has to be higher up than the Canadian flag.

You're supposed to take your American flag down at dusk and put it back up at dawn. If you are unable to take your American flag down, you need to illuminate it either with lighting on the ground shining up or you can now get solar-powered lights you can attach to a flagpole to light it when the sun goes down. I know of one website that sells them called Flag Expressions. They have solar ones too.
It is correctly called the Union Flag, and only the Union Jack when it is flown on a ship, the flag would be hoisted up a ships 'jackstay' a rope which runs up the main ships mast, hence the name Union Jack. Most British citizens offhandedly call it the "Union Jack" though, in much the same way Americans call their flag "Old Glory". They called it the old glory because it is old.

There is an urban legend (a myth) that the president appeared on a TV show and insulted the American flag. This never happened. There is also a myth that the president does not salute the flag. This too is not true. And finally, there is a story that at one time in 2007, the president did not have his hand over his heart while the National Anthem was playing. This is partly true, but there is no rule that one salutes during the National Anthem, nor is there a rule about putting one's hand over one's heart. Some people do, while others just stand and respectfully listen to the anthem. To sum up, there is no truth that the president has ever disrespected the flag, even though some of his political enemies have spread false rumors on the internet. You can go to snopes.com or factcheck.org to see these myths get debunked.
