When the flag is hung over a street running north to south, the stars are always toward the east.When a group of flags is being displayed, the U.S. flag should be at the center and at the highest point. The only exception is when the flag of another nation is being flown. National flags should be of the same size and fly at the same height.When covering a casket, the stars should be at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should never touch the ground or be lowered into the grave.Inside When on a speaker's podium, the flag should be either above and behind the speaker, or to the speaker's right as he faces the audience.When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union (blue field) should be uppermost and to the flag's right, that is, the observer's left.In a window, or suspended above a corridor, the flag should hang with the union on the viewer's left.Government The flag should be flown daily at the main administration building of public institutions.Polling places should display a flag on election days.School buildings should display a flag when school is in session.Flags should fly at half-staff on the deaths of certain government officials.When the flag is displayed against a wall with another flag from crossed staffs, the U.S. flag should be on the right (facing the audience) and its staff should be on top of the other flag's.Parades When the flag is carried in procession with other flags, it should be either on the right of the line of flags, or in front of the center of the line.On floats, the flag should be displayed on a staff.The flag should not be draped over a car, train, or boat.
