Every self-respecting American house has its flagpole. I always notice that the Union Jack seems to fly somewhat more, well, flowingly, even though, by American custom, it has to fly below the Stars and Stripes, a matter of some teeth-gritting in our household. Note the old revolutionary flag with just thirteen stars. Hubby thinks it's rather pretty.
