Yes. I was trying to explain the difference when there is and isn’t a dais.
If there is a dais or raised platform and the flag is on level with the speaker then it goes to the speakers right. The same holds true when the speaker and audience are on the same level.
However, when there is a dais/platform and the flag is displayed on the lower level with the audience then it goes on the audiences right as this is the place of honor for the level and the flag faces forward toward the dais/platform from that level.
It’s a quirk in the code we had to learn years ago in NJROTC and comes from recognizing the citizens as having the place of power when talking with officials/speakers and therefore the flag is placed on their level in some situations. When it is placed on the audience level then the place of honor is facing forward and to the right.
I’ve seen one setting with multiple flags where one was on the audience level and one on the dais - so they were diagonal from each other appropriately.
Ok, thanks!
