Post by peter e mark »

Hello parade officionados, and todays question is: How do I correctly mount my american and 82nd Airborn flag on my M37? ( the previous method being broom sticks and duct tape { don't tell KNATTRASS})

U.S. flag should always be at the right front corner (left when looking at the front of the vehicle) here is an exerpt fron the U.S, flag code.

<The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.>

The other flag should be at the other corner of the vehicle at the same of lower height as the U.S. flag.
