At sea services by Navy chaplains, the church pennant may be flown above the flag.

No other flag may be flown above or, if on the same level, to the right of the United States flag except the United Nations Headquarters. The UN flag may be placed above flags of all member nations. In the UN enclave national flags of all members are flown with equal prominence.

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

HOW TO DISPLAY THE FLAG

When carried in a procession with another flag or flags, the Stars and Stripes should be at the right-front of the column, or when there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line. The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and floating free.

When a number of flags are grouped and displayed from staffs, the flag of the United States should be in the center or at the highest point of the group. When displayed with another flag from crossed staffs, the flag of

the United States should be on the right (the flag's own right), and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.
If the flag is displayed from a staff projected from a windowsill, balcony or front of a building, the union of the flag should go to the peak of the staff (unless the flag is to be displayed at half-staff).
When the flag is displayed in any manner other than being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. If displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right; that is, to the observer's left. When displayed in a window it should be suspended in the same way—that is, with the union to the left of the observer in the street.
