Flag-waving is a fallacious argument or propaganda technique used to justify an action based on the undue connection to nationalism or patriotism or benefit for an idea, group or country. It is a variant of argumentum ad populum.
The following are not laws; they are examples of courteous flag etiquette. Fly a U.S. flag above all other flags on a flagpole. An upside-down flag is a sign of distress. A flag at half-mast is a sign of mourning. When raising or lowering a flag half-mast, first raise the flag to the top of the flagpole. It is unacceptable to lower a flag over a casket into a grave.
