Default widow's flag

Hello, this is my first time on this site. I have a question. My ex-wife's father recently passed away, and his widow was presented with his flag at the gravesite. My daughter has informed me that she will be giving the flag to my ex so that she can fly it in her front yard. Am I incorrect in thinking that this is wrong? I was of the impression that the whole idea of the presentation of the flag to the widow was to symbolize the end of her husband's service to a grateful nation, and that the flag was never to be flown again. Please advise me if anyone can. Thank you.
Rich

Default Re: widow's flag

The flag may be flown to honor the individual and the country he/she served.
