Fly the Flag
The most important thing is to fly the flag properly. Most people buy big flags to hold in their hands or to place them on the roof but they have no clue regarding how to properly fly the flag. When flying a flag in hand, you have to move it with a certain pace from left to right and continue doing so. In contrast, placing you flag on the roof top is rather tricky as you will have to identify the direction of the wind and then place the flag accordingly. -
