None!
And any that *are* flying above the Stars and Stripes needs to be removed, by any means neccesary. |

"When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea."

This is pretty obscure -

Very Good! That was quick!
I was suprised when I read that. I always thought that no flag was to be flown over the US Flag. |

It DOES make sense. Literal interpretation of "One Nation, under God..."
And a church pennant isn't a nation's flag. CJ |

Everybody has it wrong. The Confederate flag is the supreme flag of North America and should fly above all others!

Someone has GOT to mention this:
The Texas State flag is the only flag allowed to fly at the same level as the US Flag [:D] |

CJ Another interesting piece of trivia surrounds the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The original had no mention of God. Congress amended the Pledge in 1954 to include these words.
