You'd better say "flag is up" otherwise these guys might think you're bragging about taking Viagra.Mine's up

Question: A vet' once told me that a streetlight nearby would be sufficient lighting, is this true or is a dedicated spotlight necessary?
http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/RL30243.pdfAs a matter of custom, and without specific statutory or official authorization,
the flag is flown at night at many other sites, including the United States Capitol. It
would seem that display of the flag in a respectful manner with appropriate lighting
does not violate the spirit of the Flag Code since the dignity accorded to the flag is
preserved by lighting that prevents its being enveloped in darkness.
I believe any light source that makes the flag visible at night is technically within protocol, but IMO a dedicated light source would be more respectful.
