Can a foreign flag fly above the US flag?
Mexican-US flags
KRNV News 4
A situation arose in Reno, where a Mexican Flag was flown above the US flag on a single pole. This was a violation of the Flag Code and was apparently done to make a political statement.

Let's start by looking at the Flag Code. You will find there is a contradiction. First it says that all foreign flags should fly at the same height as the US flag. But later, it says that no foreign flag should fly at the same height as the US flag.

7g. reads, "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."

7c. starts, "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...

Perhaps you could contact one of the American Legions or the VFW and they could set them straight. If your on Face Book search for The Band of Brothers here in The Villages. You can send them a message I'm sure they would be happy to set them straight as to the proper way to display US Flag.
