<p>I am no flag code expert [and neither is anybody else, it seems, on this forum] but the Flag Code seems to apply onlyh to Civilians.</p>
<p>The following codification of existing rules and customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag of the United States of America is established for the use of such civilians or civilian groups or organizations as may not be required to conform with regulations promulgated by one or more executive departments of the Government of the United States

<p>HAving said that, there are many Regulations of departements htat have been found to be illegal.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the flag may be flown BELOW a Church pennatn. </p>
<p>No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy
