Other flags are placed to the left and right of the U.S. flag in order of importance: the second most important flag is placed in the hole immediately to the left of the U.S. flag, from the audience’s perspective, the third most important flag goes immediately to the right of the U.S. flag; and the next most important flag goes in the hole furthest to the left, leaving the hole furthest to the right for the least important flag. When flags are used behind a podium, the national colors are placed on the physical right of the speaker as he or she addresses the audience. When displayed behind the speaker’s platform without a pole, the flag must be flat against its display surface and must have its longest dimension parallel to the floor, directly behind and slightly above the podium.
