For those of you who fly the American flag at your camp

The United States Flag:
Federal Law Relating to Display
and Associated Questions
Summary
This report presents, verbatim, the United States “Flag Code” as found in Title
4 of the United States Code and the section of Title 36 which designates the Star-
Spangled Banner as the national anthem and provides instructions on how to display
the flag during its rendition. The “Flag Code” includes instruction and rules on such
topics as the pledge of allegiance, display and use of the flag by civilians, time and
occasions for display, position and manner of display, and how to show respect for
the flag. The “Code” also grants to the President the authority to modify the rules
governing the flag.
The report also addresses several of the frequently asked questions concerning
the flag. The subject matter of these questions includes the pledge of allegiance and
the court decisions concerning it, the nature of the codifications of customs
concerning the flag in the “Flag Code,” display of the flag 24 hours a day, flying the
flag in bad weather, flying the flag at half-staff, ornaments on the flag, destruction of
worn flags, display of the U.S. flag with flags of other nations or of States,
commercial use of the flag, size and proportion of the flag, and restrictions upon
display of the flag by real estate associations.

a) It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on
buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, when a patriotic
effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly
illuminated during the hours of darkness

I spent 7 years and am totally disabled due to war. Fighting for the American flag. If you cant display it properly, DONT !!!!!!!!!!!

Rules for flying the American flag:

from usa-flag-site.org/etiquette.shtml

Federal law stipulates many aspects of flag etiquette. The section of law dealing with American Flag etiquette is generally referred to as the Flag Code. Some general guidelines from the Flag Code answer many of the most common questions:


The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source.
The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use.
The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.
The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard.
The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.
The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it.
The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously.
The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.
When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

I saw this at Northern Tool and was considering it for a front hitch solution to hauling kayaks with a 5th wheeler but am looking into inflatables first.

Yes, I fly the American Flag and I don't light it or take it in at night!

Francis Scott Key in 1814 wrote:
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

I'd rather see people displaying the flag throughout the night than not at all.

The best on the market are Poles and Holders the have poles and all kind of mounts.

They also have a Solar Light for flying your flag at night.

I use the Receiver Mount for mine.

Everything folds up in a easy to store package.

I have a mount which will allow me to fly 5 flags mounted on my tongue jack. I purchased the poles when I bought the mount years ago. Many use painter poles from HD.

Mine came from a company called Pole Ease not sure they are in business any more. Someone is still making them.

I have a LED spotlight with a mag mount that I connect to the battery for night if I want to use it, I always worry about disturbing my neighbors with light or flapping noise so I often lower the flags at night. We have a variety of flags which change with season and mood.

I have a bracket mounted to the front jack. The American flag no longer need be lighted or taken down at night.

We put a Flag up at our site, we have a basic plastic holder mounted to the back of our Rig, we do not light it at night and we do not take it in at night....
