I'm going to hang two flags this afternoon. One is, of course, our American Flag; the other is a D-Day 75th Anniversary Flag.
I want to hang one on each side of our front door, each on an angled flag pole.
Facing our front door, on which side should the American Flag be displayed?
I'm dyslexic, and cannot picture this in my mind.
Thanks in advance!
The American flag is displayed so it is on the right side facing the display area
Looking at your door, the US flag is on the left
U.S. flag always on its own right side.
I’ve always known the rule of thumb to be that it’s always on its own right in a multi-flag display.

On your right as you are facing out the door.
Done!
Thanks, everyone!
Peter!
So good to see you on FR!
Even better that you’re flying the Stars and Stripes.
Today I purchased another Old Glory.
It measures 8’ x 12’ and will be flown with love and devotion. At Trump rallies too!
FRegards brother!
Happy April Flag Day!

Hi, Gang!
I’ve been lurking, mostly, for quite a while.
I’m officially retired. Just hangin’ out creating tension in the family (just kidding) and tackling those little projects I’ve been promising to do for 16+ years.
Some of ‘em are actually completed!
Hope all’s well with all of you & yours!

When displayed either horizontally or vertically, the union should be uppermost and to the flags own right, that is, to the observers left. When displayed in a window, the American flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. 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 to include the DDay Flag as seen by the observer, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea for personnel of the Navy when the church pennant may be flown above the flag.
You might want to consider just posting the DDay flag if it is not covered with writing or mis-colored.

Here’s the D-Day Flag:
Guess it’s more like a state flag than an American flag. So it would be lower and to the observers right. Some of the flags that have been put out like the USA American flag are basically blue stars and stripes with a different color blue running horizontal across the middle of it. So the only differences are the colors and the middle stripe. Another is the American UK Friendship Flag which is almost half American and half UK. Strange looking thing.

When you walk out the door - Old Glory will be on your (and Her right). Looking at the house from outside, she will be on the left.
Ah, the joys of dyslexia. Thanks
None of the etiquette guides had an exact picture of what I wanted to do.
I knew I could always count on Freepers to get it right.
And, I mean right.
Thanks again
