Two quick things that people often aren't aware of (almost certainly covered in your links):

1) If leaving the flag up after sundown, ensure that it is illuminated.
2) When flying at half mast, raise the flag to the top of the pole, then lower back down to half mast. When taking the flag down, run it back to the top, and then lower all the way back down.

Ours has been flying at half mast since the acts of war began.

Good for you, Coop, but unless you live on a houseboat your flag has actually been flying at half staff.

One more flag etiquette item: flags over land fly at half staff. Flags over water fly at half mast.

Maybe someone here more familiar with the specifics here can help me...I live in a first floor apartment, so the best I was able to do was hang my large flag in my big front window. I really don't want to take it down at all, so I've been leaving the light on in the room at night, which gives the flag some back-light until dawn. Is that suitable for illumination?

At this point in time, I would rather fly the flag 24/7 without a light than not fly it at all.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, those are my only two options.

I figure if burning the flag is "legal," unlighted nighttime flying is "OK." If anyone disagrees, shoot me.
