Are you looking to fly two poles with flags from one mount; or an individual mount for each pole with flag?

 

Two flags from one mount

 

I've never seen that, now that I think about it. A quick Google ain't coming up with much either.

 

Maybe I'll do two mounts

Been awhile since I remembered flag ettiqite what is the spacing between individual flags . I do know the US flag should be on the l/side when facing it

 

I'd have to pull it up, I don't remember a required spacing, just order. I think you might have to do two mounts. I just looked thru Annin's site, and they don't appear to one mount for two 3'x5'.

Found this for you:

DISPLAYING THE FLAG WITH OTHER FLAGS
The American Flag may be displayed with other flags as long as its display follows the rules specified by the Flag Code. These rules were set to make sure the American Flag is in a position of prominence over other flags. The flag represents the government of the United States, and on American soil, the government is the highest authority. The American flag is even displayed above church flags, except in rare instances.

The Rules:

• When displayed with other flags, the size of the American Flag should be larger than the other flags or relatively equal to the size of the largest flag. Other flags should not overshadow the American Flag in any way.
• The American Flag should be flown higher than lesser flags. If the flags are displayed on the same level, the American Flag should be flown to the (flag's own) right of all other flags. The right is a position of prominence.
• If the flags of other nations are displayed with the American Flag, they should be of equal size and at equal heights on separate staffs at a time of peace. The American Flag should be displayed to the (flag's own) right but not higher than other national flags.
• In a group of state, local and/or society flags, the American Flag should be flown highest and in the center.
• The American Flag should be hoisted first and lowered last, when flown with other flags on adjacent staffs.
• When the American Flag is displayed against a wall with another flag, it should be on the (flag's own) right with its staff in front of the other flag.
• Another nation's flag shouldn't be displayed on the same halyard as the American Flag.
• If a state, local or society flags are flown on the same halyard with the American Flag, the American Flag should be at the top.
• If the American Flag is carried in a procession with other flags, it should be to its own right or in the center of a line of flags.

Exceptions to the Rules:

• In any nation the national flag must be placed in a place of prominence. The flag code only applies to flags flown on American soil.
• In foreign waters or to salute a foreign country, the U.S. Navy may fly the country's national flag on the masthead of the ship. This is not a violation of the flag code because the code only applies to civilians (not the Navy), and also because the stern and gaff of a ship are more prominent positions to fly a flag.
• A church pennant may be flown above the American Flag if a church service is done by naval chaplains at sea for personnel of the Navy. After the service is over, the American Flag must again be placed in the prominent position.
• The United Nations' headquarters may fly the flags of all 188 member nations in alphabetical order. Although it is technically located within the United States (banks of the East River in Manhattan), the headquarters is owned by all the members of the United Nations, so it is not considered to be American soil.

I'm gonna get some grub and get on with grass cutting as long as these dark clouds move on without raining on my plans.

Have a great day all.

 

Good morning folks. Sitting at the house waiting for my iPad to charge enough to print out some receipts from my email since the email server at the office isn't working. Our admin person is taking some vacation time and we are trying to get our credit card statements reconciled and to her before she takes off...teleworking is kinda cool.

 

Martin.

 

Morning Martin

 

Wishing the Wife the Best!

Thanks Chief! It has #60 Sunscreen!!! lol!

 

Not sure yet going to do what ever the doc comes up with. It sounds like they can't replace the bone that is gone just try to keep it from getting worse.

Haven't been to derm in about 7 years They did a mapping at that time of several moles and spots and told me to come back if they change. Well most of them have changed last couple of years and several new things including the top of my head which I can't see not sure what is going on. Nothing serious I hope likely just getting older.

 

thanks jimi! she thinks its side effects from meds but waiting to hear back from her doc. ill go get her if i have to.

 

holding off washing the truck. damn rain coming in later--geesh!

 

Yep, this getting old shit ain't for the weak and feeble.

nothing serious.

Likewise for your missus there Greg.

 

My grass-cutting activities here are under a threat of rain-out. Need to run over to Randy's place and help strip some Salmon to get into the brine for smoking and canning tomorrow. BBL

 

wife just texted me she staying at work. nap for me for 30 minutes then pick up son and then wash truck if not raining. dogs have to pee!! later

 

Clouds cleared up, time to cut that grass. ... whoop-de-doo
... I wish some teenager would come along looking to make some cash...I'd hire out this grass cutting deal in a heartbeat.

 

Weesa is going to get mad

 

Oh well ...
