For civilians I'd say proper etiquette would be: -Never let the flag touch the ground

-Fold the flag properly when not flown

(Directions somewhere on the net)

-The flag should be flown at night only if there is a light source illuminating it

-On days the flag is to be flown at half-mast, the proper technique is to raise the flag the entire way up the pole and then down to half-mast. There's much much more to it for the Armed Services. A friendly recruiter would surely help you with any more details.
