The reason I joined was to find out something. I'm a bit confused. I have in the past put out an American flag on special occasions such as holidays. I haven't put up a pole since moving to my current address. I recently returned from a visit to Israel. While there I purchased an Israeli flag. I've just put it up on a 66 foot tv antenna on my house. I want to fly it to Bless America. I felt led to do this after seeking the Lord's will. Now I'm faced with questions of legality. I am for certain not anti American as I come from a long line of men who fought in major wars for our freedoms. My Bible tells me that those who Bless Israel, will be Blessed and those who curse her shall be cursed. So in honor of Rosh Hoshanna and Yom Kippur and Sukkot I have braved the climb to the top of this tower to display the flag of God's chosen country. In so doing, I am trying to bring Blessings back to this country that so many people here want to trash. I do not wish to be illegal or disrepectful in any way. Your thoughts?

Hello, Bob, welcome!

There's nothing wrong with flying a foreign national flag -- I do it all the time at my house to recognize national holidays, etc. A few states have laws on the books dealing with this, but I've never heard of them being enforced in recent times.
