wise twice.
Fold up a triangle, starting at the striped end, and repeat until only
the end of the union is exposed.
Then fold down the square into a triangle and tuck inside the folds.
Display Your Flag Properly
According to the flag etiquette Web site, here is the proper way to
display a flag:
When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be
suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west
street or to the east in a north and south street.
The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with
another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the
right; the flag's own right and its staff should be in front of the
staff of the other flag.
The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the
peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The
flag should be raised again to the peak before it is lowered for the
day.
When flags of states, cities or localities, or pennants of societies
are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the
latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from
adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first
and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag
of the United States or to the right of the flag of the United States.
When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from
a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be
hoisted out, union first, from the building.
When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff
projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony
or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the
peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff.
When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be placed so that
the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should
not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.
When the flag is displayed in a manner other than by being flown from
a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When
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 displayed in
the same way; that is, with the union or blue field to the left of the
observer in the street. When festoons, rosettes or drapings are
desired, bunting of blue, white and red should be used, but never the
flag.
When carried in a procession with another flag, or flags, the American
flag should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag's own
right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center
of that line.
The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and
at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or
localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from
staffs.
When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag
of the United States of America should hold the position of superior
prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor
at the clergyman's or speaker's right as he faces the audience. Any
other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman
or speaker or to the right of the audience.

Attach to windshield of GM truck made partly in Korea and partly in
Mexico. Keep flag on said truck until it becomes faded and torn. Toss
worn flag into a wastebasket guaranteeing it passage to a nearby
landfill, and pick up another one at the next gas station.
Better yet, avoid the mess of dealing with empty political symbols and
pursue a virtuous life.
