How to Hang an American Flag Vertically?

Place the flag with the union of stars at the upper left from the viewer’s perspective

If hanging on a wall, position the flag so the union remains in the upper left corner

If hanging in a window, display the flag with the union in the upper left as seen from the street

If hanging vertically from a pole or staff, rotate the flag so the union is at the top and to the left

Ensure the stripes run vertically downward

Keep the flag straight and centered

Avoid letting the flag touch the floor or ground

Use proper hooks, clips, or a flag mount to secure it safely
