Hi! I’m Lexi!
A little bit about me…lets just say I LOVE flags, and everything that has to do with it’s history as well as any history! I also love shopping, which you will see that on some of posts lol. I’ve always been curious about anything related to flags though, therefore I created this blog to pass on my knowledge to you! Hopefully you find something interesting in here that you didn’t know before.
Follow my exclusive blog here on this site or select “lexi’s Flag Blog” to the right.
See a topic you’d be interested in hearing more about that I haven’t covered? I’d love to do some research on it for you! Anything that is a challenge is fun for me, so brain busters are welcome! Email me and we’ll see what I can find.

PS – if you don’t know what buzzword I’m going for with my “Vexi” alias check out this wiki article on “vexillology” and my alias might make a bit more sense. TTYS!
When flying military flags of all the branches of service togther, is there a specific order in which they should be flown?
The Dept. of Defense Directive says that the precedence of military flags is determined by service birthdays when displaying the flags together.
From left to right:
1. Army
2. Marine Corps
3. Navy
4. Air Force
5. Coast Guard *
*The Coast Guard moves up after Navy and before Air Force when the Coast Guard serves as a service of the Dept of the Navy in time of war.
It was certainly interesting for me to read that blog. Thanx for it. I like such topics and everything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more soon. BTW, rather nice design this blog has, but don’t you think it should be changed from time to time?

When displaying two flags in angle brackets on the front of my house. Which side should the US flag be on, Left or right?
Gary…if you are facing the house and looking at the flags from the street or sidewalk, the American flag should be on the left and the other flag should be on the right.
I need the official days this year to fly the flag at half staff, Thank you.
The next major holiday this year to fly your flag at half-staff would be Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day which is December 7th.
