The flagpoles are the same height, and the U.S. flag is on the left as you pull in the lot, but our flag has been hung a bit higher — probably not realizing these protocols.

Thanks!

It's a common, but incorrect, belief in the US that the US flag should always be higher.

When at peace, the flags of all nations are flown at the same height, but with proper respect to the "host" nation of the display.

In time of war, you fly your flag or ensign over the enemy's to signify defeat, particularly when capturing a enemy city, fortress, or ship.
