What is meant by flag protocol?
Flag protocol means order in which flags are flown. This is not a matter of us expressing our personal preference. Flag order was established long ago. It applies to military and non-military processions. We refer to it as military flag protocol because these are military funerals with full military honors. Simply put, the US flag always leads, and state flags are next. Military branch flags, then organizational flags – all flown based on birth date. The youngest organization’s flag flies last. We only fly one flag per bike, so it simplifies the flag order process. To read more about flag protocol, check our Flag Protocol page on this site.
