Owning your own home has been called “the American dream” since the birth of our nation.

Here are some pointers on how to handle the flag of the United States as you display on your “American dream” home, so follow these steps and you will know you are doing it the “right” way.

These are excerpts and paraphrases from the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10

  • Fly the flag during daylight hours only, fly in darkness only if the flag is illuminated with its own light source (i.e., street lights, sign lights do not count)


  • Fly the flag in fair weather, take it indoors in inclement weather


  • The white stars are always in the upper left corner


  • Fly the flag at half-mast on specified days only, usually by instruction from the President of the United States, and we do it as one nation. Local, regional and statewide requests for half-mast of the national flag lessen the intended nationwide impact of unity in observance. President of the United States, and we do it as one nation. Local, regional and statewide requests for half-mast of the national flag lessen the intended nationwide impact of unity in observance.


  • Always display a flag in good condition, no fading, tattered, stained, etc.
Pride of self, pride of ownership and pride of community are often part of buying your home. Why not display that symbol of freedom and pride of nation by displaying the Stars and Stripes on your property, especially new homeowners? Contrary to the impression the mass media may sometimes attempt to convey, the overwhelming majority of American citizens respect this nation and respect the beautiful flag of the United States.

A little additional effort needed

Here are some security steps you should consider beyond the obvious difference of listing an unoccupied property versus an occupied property. The need for increased security rises while available time to provide such security decreases.
The key idea is to vary the look of the property on a regular basis to make it appear someone is around much of the time. This idea becomes essential if the property still has furnishings within.

Park an available vehicle in the drive for a few days, then alternate .

Pick up any windblown litter regardless of size: have the mail forwarded.
Leave an inexpensive tool visible, such as a bamboo rake, and re-position it from time to time.

Likewise, discreetly place a youth soccer ball or kickball in the yard, also reposition .

Cut the grass on basically the same schedule as the nearby neighboring properties .

Set exterior night lighting to shut-off in daylight hours.

Set interior lighting for early dusk until 10 to 11 PM.

Periodically re-position window curtains, drapes blinds, etc

Use the inside shut-off for any outside water spigots.

Vary and use an unpredictable routine to visit the property, sometimes morning, sometimes afternoon, etc.

Each of these suggestions requires minimal effort and provides that extra security of your valuable property while on the listing marketplace.

Hint: yard sales are a great source for cheap used tools, balls, and the like.
