Hang A Flag Horizontally On A Wall

The flag should be treated with dignity and respect.


If you want to display your patriotism and make a statement about your country, hanging an American flag is a good way to do so. But whether you display your American flag outside on a flagpole or inside on the walls of your home, it is important to follow proper display etiquette. The American flag should be displayed in a respectful and solemn manner, no matter where you choose to place it.


Instructions


1. Determine the best place to hang the flag on your wall. The American flag should be the focal point of the wall, so avoid displaying it with a lot of other unrelated items. You can, however, display the flag alongside military medals and similar items.


2. Place the flag flush against the wall where you want to hang it. When hung horizontally, the stars should be on the left-hand side.


3. Hang the flag flat against the wall. Use mounting materials that will not harm the flag, such as mounting squares or double-sided tape. Do not use anything that will damage the flag.
