Flag and National Anthem Protocol:
National
Flags are NEVER dipped. You can do as you please with other flags.
Traditionally, the flags of the Armed Forces of the United States
are dipped during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.
The flag of the United States of America is always at the United States
flag’s right. When the flag is on a stage or a platform, the
flag’s right is the audience’s left. When on stage with
other national flags the other flags are to the United States flag’s
left (from the audience’s perspective, to the right). When being
carried forward, the United States Flag is the rightmost of the flags
but inboard of the rightmost rifle bearer of the color guard.
Canadian and Mexican Flags. Flags of other nations are displayed in
alphabetical order. Thus, the Canadian flag is to the immediate left
(United States flag’s left/right when viewed from the audience)
of the Untied States flag. Mexico’s flag is the farthest left
(United States flag’s left/right when viewed from the audience).
After the national flags, the Gay Pride Flag, State Flags, etc. are
displayed in descending order of priority out to the United States
flag’s left (audience’s right).
In a single file line, the flag of the United States is in the front,
followed by the flag of Canada and then the flag of Mexico.
National
Anthems: the national anthems are played in reverse order of precedence:
first – Mexico, second – Canada, and last – United
States of America.
