We the People of the United States, actually have two national flags, a military flag and a civil flag for peacetime. They have several important distinctions and meanings. Almost all Americans think of the Stars and Stripes "Old Glory" as their only flag. And IT IS BEAUTIFUL!! butt,, Through usage and custom, horizontal stripes had become adopted for use over military posts, and vertical stripes adopted for use over civilian establishments. The Civil Flag, intended for peacetime usage in custom house civilian settings, had vertical stripes with blue stars on a white field. By the Law of the Flag, this design denoted civil jurisdiction under the Constitution and common law as opposed to military jurisdiction under admiralty/military law.
