How is the American flag handled?

Many ways.

It must always fly higer than anyother Flag, ei state Flag.

It must never touch the floor.

It shouldn't be burned, It is legall though. Why would you do that?

It should never fly ripped or torn

Always carry it smartly with respect, it represents more than just a country.

Military wise:

It is raised at Sunrise and Lowerd at sunset.

If on a standup pole with a bronze spread eagle, the eagle must face outward and forward.
