Just for those who aren't aware of the proper uses and display of the US flag in this moment of everyone just having to display it lately, here's a well done resource for reference. This is a guideline made from US Public Law 93-344 and done in a layman's format so it's easy to grasp and use. It might even be a good idea for local newspapers to print a variation of this once to inform people that don't know that they may be "doing it wrong" http://www.state.wi.us/agencies/dva/museum/flaguse.html
