Flag protocol has bothered me for a number of years.
Whether the flag is to the left or right of the front door was, however, never an issue.
When I moved into my Gardenia model some 8+ years ago, I installed a holder in what I considered the "obvious place." This was on the column to the right of my front door! My major flag still hangs here.
Not long ago, I wondered about the proper way to display a flag "at half staff," mostly being unsure of what "half staff" really means.
A query to the American Legion - an organization that I believed would have the definitive bottom-line protocols - resulted in an uncertain definition of half-staff!
So, I personally show my flag from what happens to be my most convenient spot. And, I have personally decided that, were I to have a flag pole, I would determine that point at which the mid-point of my flag's height is at the mid-point of my flag's pole as the point at which to have the flag displayed at half-staff!
My situation is decidedly complicated by the fact that I do NOT have a proper flag pole!
So, to some extent, all bets are off!
