- 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.

- 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.
How to fly the American Flag in a Parade:
- 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. When displayed with a car, the flag's staff should be attached to the right fender, or the chassis.
- The flag should be held upright and should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental, state, or organizational flags may be dipped.
Decorative uses of the American Flag.
- The flag should never be used as clothing, bedding, or drapery. Red, white, and blue bunting may be used as decoration instead, with the blue on top, white in the middle, and red below.

- The flag should not be used to cover a statue or monument.
- The flag should not be used to cover a ceiling.
- Advertising banners should not be hung from the same staff as a flag.
- The flag should not appear on napkins, boxes, or other disposable items, nor should it be embroidered on cushions, handkerchiefs, or similar objects.
Flag Maintenance, The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. Care should be taken not to let the flag get torn, dirty, or damaged. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing.
Previous to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference, which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy, which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U.S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance.
A few minor changes were made a year later during the Flag Day 1924 Conference. It was not until June 22, 1942 that Congress passed a joint resolution which was amended on December 22, 1942 to become Public Law 829; Chapter 806, 77th Congress, 2nd session. Exact rules for use and display of the flag (36 U.S.C. 173-178) as well as associated sections (36 U.S.C. 171) Conduct during Playing of the National Anthem, (36 U.S.C. 172) the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, and Manner of Delivery were included.
The code is the guide for all handling and display of the Stars and Stripes. It does not impose penalties for misuse of the United States Flag. That is left to the states and to the federal government for the District of Columbia. Each state has its own flag law.
Criminal penalties for certain acts of desecration to the flag were contained in Title 18 of the United States Code prior to 1989. The Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson; June 21, 1989, held the statute unconstitutional. This statute was amended when the Flag Protection Act of 1989 (Oct. 28, 1989) imposed a fine and/or up to I year in prison for knowingly mutilating, defacing, physically defiling, maintaining on the floor or trampling upon any flag of the United States. The Flag Protection Act of 1989 was struck down by the Supreme Court decision, United States vs. Eichman, decided on June 11, 1990.
While the Code empowers the President of the United States to alter, modify, repeal or prescribe additional rules regarding the Flag, no federal agency has the authority to issue 'official' rulings legally binding on civilians or civilian groups. Consequently, different interpretations of various provisions of the Code may continue to be made. The Flag Code may be fairly tested: 'No disrespect should be shown to the Flag of the United States of America.' Therefore, actions not specifically included in the Code may be deemed acceptable as long as proper respect is shown.
When to Fly the Flag: These days, displaying the flag every day is very common. It demonstrates support for our nation and our troops. For those choosing specific days to display the flag, special days have been identified for displaying the flag. Unless lit, the flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset, weather permitting, on the following special days: Flag Display Days.
New Year's Day - January 1
Martin Luther King Day - Third Monday in January
Inauguration Day - January 20
Lincoln's Birthday - February 12

Quilting Fabric Decision Help?
I am making a quilted journal cover for my boyfriend who is going to Portugal. He likes the dark colors and I dont know how to choose the correct fabrics so it doesnt look girly. Are there certain patterns I should stay away from or go towards? What would make it more "manly"? Also, what can I put on there that has to do with Portugal? He wants something on it to do with Portugal, but Im not sure what. Should I hand stitch "Portugal 2010" on it, embroider the flag, any ideas?
The single biggest thing would be to avoid any floral designs and anything "cute" (like kittens, cookware, etc. - the exception here might be 'sun' and 'beach' theme prints, as Portugal is known for its beaches).
One approach to choosing fabrics would be to stick with patterns you would see in men's good-quality dress shirts - stripes, checks, plaids, and solids. Another approach is to stick with the fabrics you might see in men's pants - denim and khaki are a nice combination, for instance.
A journal is likely to get a lot of handling, so you probably want to avoid any solid whites or mostly-white backgrounds, as they are likely to look grubby quickly.
I would be more inclined to use the Portuguese flag than 'Portugal 2010'. You could draw it on with Pigma markers or paint pens, or you might even be able to find a patch with the flag and/or the country name that you could just sew on (even if it's 'iron on', sew it - otherwise it could easily fall off).
Happy quilting, and I hope he has a nice trip.
