I gave a family friend my father's old antique wheel barrow and she turned it into this flower planter. it is a remembrance garden for her father who was a Marine and had recently passed away at 84. RIP Richard

Taken from my hotel room at the Mayflower Park Hotel in Seattle last year. Love flags on top of a building.

6 years ago when negotiating the lease on my building, it had an old flagpole that had been flag-less for years. It was a major hurdle to get the property owner to give me control of this pole. This pic was Memorial Day this year. Flag is 18'x12', and I replace it twice a year. Lit from a spotlight on my roof.

I appreciate the flag, but have lost all respect for the NFL.

In the Netherlands we have on/above our flag a streamer (long orange banner) that has to do with the monarchy and is raised on certain occasions within the royal family (there is a complete legal protocol for that here).
Is there also something like that in the US (maybe on the 4th of july or so) that there is an alteration/addition to the flag to show/honor a special occasion?
I have no idea if this is specific dutch or if other countries have something similar too.

Looks like this in my country (sorry, don't have a picture of my own flag alas and that is obviously not my house ):

According to the US Flag Code, here is a quote:
(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.

Nice flag, btw!

Another of my flags. I'll be completing my landscaping this weekend and I'll have more to share!

My yard is in and we just have the drip lines and mulch to install in the back along the back fence. I am very happy with the results!

I had the pleasure of living in the USA for a couple of years. Flag culture is much more established there than back home in Australia and I really enjoyed it.

This photo was taken on Australia day, 26th of January when it is normally scorching hot back home downunder. This was outside my house in Newport News, Virginia. It didn't snow often there but when it did, it sure was beautiful.



PS, Australia day aside, we would display both a US and Australian flag on our home - with correct order of deference to our hosts.

Very nice! We just had our first measurable snowfall overnight. I'm not ready for winter yet... I've never visited Australia but when i was in the US Navy back in the late 1980s, our ship got about a day away from Perth where we were supposed to spend a couple of weeks. But something happened in the Middle East, so we turned around and we never went to Perth. I really wish I could have visited.

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day. If you choose to do so, please fly your flag at full staff tomorrow, 11.11.20. My thoughts are with all those veterans and active duty members and with the families of those members who did not return from their service to our great country.
