How should a flag be positioned when displayed flat against a wall?

When a flag is displayed flat against a wall, it should be positioned with the union (the blue field with stars) at the top and to its own right, which is the observer's left side. This orientation ensures that the flag is displayed in a respectful and proper manner, consistent with the flag code and traditional protocol.

Positioning the union in this way means that when viewers look at the flag, the union remains in a place that is the most prominent and respectful to the flag's significance; it is a way to honor the flag and what it represents. The flag's design is such that the union being to the viewer's left symbolizes the flag's intended position when it is carried forward in a parade or displayed in formal settings.
