Hanging a flag by the run, top-fly left, or right? - Paul F. - 07-25-2006
How's that for an obscure question?
I'm hanging some historic and other-national flags in my computer lab for educational-decoration...
When hanging a flag by the "run", the side with the grommets that hook to the flagpole, should the top "fly" (the long edge) be on the left, or the right?
Another way to look at it is... clockwise or counterclockwise from it's normal flying position?
The US flag in the room will be hung properly on a staff, and higher than all others used as wall-hangings... FYI...
If anyone knows which way is "proper", I'd appreciate it! (otherwise, I'll hang them all the same way, whichever I choose...).

I am ashamed, that as a former cub, weeblos, boy and sea scout, that I had to look it up.

Former cub scout, boy scout, Navy brat, and NJROTC cadet.. and I couldn't find it with Google...

I used to beat up Explorer Marines before lunch, Rotsee boy!

Yeah, but was YOUR rifle team in the top 20% in the nation in shooting matches?

at that age, I used my shooting iron for other things ;-)
