• Historically, flags were first flown in battle to
  let troops know specific information while they
  were on the field. They were often used to show
  troop location or organization, and many times
  they displayed a family coat of arms or house
  symbol. Countries soon began to adopt flags as
  well, essentially derived from coat of arms or
  other religious symbols, but they were usually
  only used during war. By the beginning of the
  17th century ships began to fly their countrys
  flag peacefully to help identify the vessel, but
  it was not for several hundred years that flags
  became to be used casually during times of peace.
  Many European flags were derived from medieval
  wartime symbols.

  fabric choice for both outdoor and indoor flags.

  elements, and dries quickly. Because its light,
  it flies well in the slightest breeze and has a

• If you are an American, we strongly urge you to
  display the American flag, along with another
  country flag of your choosing. Just please keep
  in mind, that when flags of countries, states,
  cities, localities, or pennants of societies are
  flown on the same halyard with the flag of the
  United States, the latter should always be at the
  peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent
  staffs, the flag of the United States should be
  hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or
  pennant may be placed above the flag of the
  United States or to the right of the flag of the
  United States.
• When flags of two or more nations are displayed,
  they are to be flown from separate staffs of the
  same height. The flags should be of approximately
  equal size. International usage forbids the
  display of the flag of one nation above that of
  another nation in time of peace.

  auditorium, the flag of the United States of
  America should hold the position of superior
  prominence, in advance of the audience, and in
  the position of honor at the clergymans or
  speakers right as he faces the audience. Any
  other flag so displayed should be placed on the
  left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right
  of the audience.
