... and you can guess which 3, all flying at equal height!

Cruising by their HQ in Southwest Omaha last night on my way home.

Did I really just see that?

If we've come this far, we might as well throw a Chinese flag up there too.

Honestly, im suprised that the Chinese flag isnt up there. Werner does have a corporate office in China.
They have all four flags on their website...US, Canada, Mexico and China.

I could care less if they flew a flag for every country in the world. However, flying them all at the same height is plain out disrespectful for the country that the flag is flying in, be it the US, Canada, Mexico or Brazil...

You guys don't know the proper way to display the flag.:roll:

From www.ushistory.org

11. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size.

Please don't try to make an issue out of something that's not an issue.

I guess I have to apologize. I thought that when flying flags of multiple countries, the flag of the nation that the flag was flying in was supposed to be higher than the others.

I dont care what the rules are the american flag will always be higher if it was me.

Some more flag flying rules:

The US flag should always be displayed on the right of a group of flags. When you view the flags, the US flag should always be to your left. When displayed this way, the flags can be displayed at equal heights but the US flag must not be flown BELOW a state or other nations flag. If a US flag is flown on a pole with another flag, it should always be on top, however private organization flags should never be displayed on the same pole as the US flag.

The left to right display order (from the perspective of the viewer) on equal height poles are as follows:

# The flag of the United States.
# Foreign national flags. (Normally, these are displayed in alphabetical order using the English alphabet.)
# Flag of the President of the United States of America.
# POW/MIA flag
# State flags. Normally, state flags are displayed in order of admittance of the State to the Union. However, they may also be displayed in alphabetical order using the English alphabet.
#Territorial flags. The same display rules for state flags apply here.
# Military flags. The display order is as follows: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard.
# Other flags (city, county, private, etc.)

However, there is an exception to the equal height rules If a group of flagpoles contains a center pole that is higher than the rest, the US flag is supposed to displayed on the higher pole and the other flags must follow the "left to right" display rules. However, this applies only to state/military/other flags, NOT international flags. International convention dictates that a group of international flags should never have one higher than another.

In other words, it's perfectly acceptable to fly the US flag at equal heights to foreign flags as long as the "left to right" rules are followed. If Werner had the flags displayed in any order other than US-Canada-Mexico, then they are displaying them improperly.

Betcha you didn't know there were so many flag rules. :wink:
