Again, from the U.S. Flag Code: “No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing.

Again, from the U.S. Flag Code: “No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.” Please see our page about Olympic flag questions for more on this topic.
