is it just me, or is that flag hung incorrectly? anyone ever been to Arlington nat cemetery and seen the honor guard or documentary video? I saw it in person when too young to appreciate it fully. the meaning/history/purpose of every step and movement they make and the honor, respect and lifestyles required of those soldiers is something that should be required in schools.

I believe the flag is correct, based on how it appears to be hung over the right lanes of traffic, so anyone approaching it would have the field of stars on the left. If it was hanging in the middle of the street, the field of stars would be to the east side of a north-south street, and to the north over an east-west street. Hung off a building or in a room, field is always to the left of audience, or as viewed when entering the room.

on the news was a story about a guy who hung his flag upside down-on purpose. the neighbors raised hell. He finally came out and removed it. (nation in distress)
