Fly a U.S. flag above all other flags on a flagpole. An upside-down flag is a sign of distress. A flag at half-mast is a sign of mourning. When raising or lowering a flag half-mast, first raise the flag to the top of the flagpole. It is unacceptable to lower a flag over a casket into a grave. It is acceptable to display a flag at night if it is properly illuminated. The blue portion of the flag will be visible on a properly folded flag. Give a flag that's beyond repair to your local American Legion Post - they will dispose of it properly.
