Default All The Flags!

Riding around today from amelia to springdale it was nice to see so many flags flying in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of 9-11.There was something that bothered me though and maybe it's just me.Tell me what you all think.Seeing all the flags lining properties is nice but with them be so low alot of them were actually touching the ground.Now i always thought that at no time should an American flag touch the ground.Also when you fly the American flag it's supposed to be the highest flying flag on your property.I saw many decorative flags on houses with the american flag staked into the ground! Last but not least I also believe that if you are flying a flag at night it needs to be illuminated or brought in at night.I'm sure that all the folks that are flying the flags in the way mentioned above don't intentionally intend to disrespect our flag but that's precisely what's happening.Thanks for allowing me to vent my concerns .Please someone tell me if I'm wrong.
