If you're flying <b>only the U.S. flag</b>, it doesn't matter which side of the door it's on. If you are flying two flags, a U.S. flag and another, it depends on where they are mounted. If the flags are mounted symmetrically, on either side of the door, the U.S. flag is to your left as you walk into the door with the other flag on your right. If both flags are mounted on the same side of the property, the rule still applies like this. The U.S. flag will be <b>to the left of the other flag</b>, as you walk into the door. Sometimes flags aren't mounted symmetrically on either side of a doorway. Both flags could be in the front right corner of your property, but the rule still applies. The U.S. flag flies to its own right, representing the property it's flying over. Walter, I hope this answers you question. If not, let me know and I'll get the whiteboard out.

Thanks - Walter When I walk into my front door, should the US Flag be on my left or my right or does it matter?
Thanks – Walter
