Whoever put that web site together is counting on no one checking the citations used. I did. You should have.
From your link: The only statute or regulation, in the United States, prescribing a yellow fringed United States flag is Army Regulation No. 260-10, making it a military flag.
Problem is AR 260-10 is not listed as an Army regulation in the US Army Publishing Directorate.
The only reference I could find to the fringed flag is from AR 840-10 (Also referenced in your link)
AR 840-10
1–7. Materials
Flags designed primarily for indoor and parade display will normally be made of banner rayon or heavyweight nylon with rayon fringe. Those designed primarily for outdoor display will be made of nylon-wool or heavyweight nylon without fringe.
1–8. Restrictions
3–3. Material
All positional colors for indoor display are rayon banner cloth or heavyweight nylon, trimmed on three sides with rayon fringe 2 1/2 inches wide.
The other citations ref to US Code simply do not say what the Flag Code, Etiquette and Laws website seems to think they do. For example, the phrase "Under color of law" does not refer to gold fringe, red, white, blue or any other color. That is just ridiculous.
You have been on the Q threads long enough to know to check your sources.
After thoroughly reading and researching your rebuttal, I conclude that the gold or yellow fringe sometimes seen on the Flag of the United States, is merely a decoration used on flags intended for indoor or ceremonial use. Not for daily outdoor display. It is just a decoration and gold is not the "Color of law" maritime, martial or otherwise.
