@BrokenFoot77 Well it isn't illegal or anything, but it is frowned upon and considered disrespectful to the flag. That's why the video was saying to always hang it with the field of honor on the left.

what happens if i hang it vertically but with the field of blue on the other side, is it disrespectful?, I'm not American but i have a flag that i got from the USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor that i hang to honor them, i was thinking of having it framed but i ended up hanging it vertically on my bedroom wall
