The question is, what is the rule for flying the American flag at night? (For those of you who think that it is silly to "have rules" for such things, don't look at what Washington is doing to American health care these days.)
To make it easy, this is a multiple-guess test:
- The flag must be flown from the building itself and not on a flag pole at ground level.
- The flag must be flown on the side of the main (public) entrance to the building.
- The flag must be flown on the East side of the building, facing the rising sun.
- The flag must be illuminated.
UPDATE: "Poll" updated to "Pole" per the admonition of Bill, from Chelmsford.

This is one of my HUGE pet peeves as the incorrect answer to the question constitutes civic ignorance and disregard for a national symbol that men and now women have died for.
It must be illuminated so that it can always be seen flying proudly.
The other pet peeve is to see a faded or tatered flag being displayed.

'Flag-waving' can been seen someone while full of pride to be at times to blind zealousness. The greatest stereotype of my childhood memory would be wrestlers chanting and waving the flag.
