Is it disrespectful to fly an American flag on a truck?

Sometimes I see people flying American flags from their trucks. It looks really cool, but I can’t help but wonder if that’s okay for the flag. Is it disrespectful to display a flag in this manner?

While it isn’t illegal to display the flag in this way, it can be considered disrespectful to fly an American flag on
a truck
if the flag is displayed improperly. If you want to follow exact flag respect rules, you’ll need to:
  • Keep the flag off of the ground at all times.
  • Display the stars facing the front of the car.
  • Respectfully dispose of the flag if it becomes torn or battered.
  • Shine a light on the flag, if you choose to display it at night.
