How to Choose a Military or Service Flag

Start with the branch, unit, organization or person you want to honor. Next, match the flag's construction to how it will be displayed. An outdoor service flag has different requirements from a ceremonial parade flag or a small memorial marker.

Choose the Service Branch or Design

The United States Armed Forces have six branches: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard. Our selection includes branch flags and selected associated designs such as Army National Guard, Navy Seabees and Navy Blue Angels flags. Current listings also include certain military anniversary and general officer flags.

Public-service flags, including police, Thin Blue Line, firefighter and Thin Red Line designs, are available through this broader service collection. These categories honor different organizations and should not be confused with the six branches of the Armed Forces.

Choose the Size and Display Format

• 3x5-foot flags: A common format for compatible residential flagpoles, porches and many game-day or commemorative outdoor displays.
• Indoor and parade flags: Designed for compatible presentation poles, ceremonies, organizations and interior settings. Some may feature pole hems or fringe.
• 12x18-inch cemetery and garden flags: Smaller options for certain grave-marker, memorial and decorative displays. Confirm whether a staff or stand is included.
• Double-sided service flags: Compare the construction, finished size and added fabric weight before using a double-sided flag outdoors.

Dimensions vary by product. Follow your flagpole manufacturer's maximum flag size and wind-load specifications, especially if you plan to fly a service flag beneath the American flag.

Nylon, Polyester and Double-Sided Construction

Nylon military flags are often well suited to everyday outdoor display because the relatively lightweight fabric moves readily in lighter wind. Selected polyester flags can offer a heavier construction for suitable installations. Other products use double-sided construction so a design can be presented on both faces of the flag.

Not every flag offers the same fabric or finishing. Check the product page for the manufacturer's specifications, stitching, headers and recommended usage. For a comparison of common flag materials, see our nylon versus polyester flag guide.

Flag Mounting and Outdoor Use

Before ordering, confirm whether the flag uses grommets, a pole sleeve, a pole hem or another mounting configuration. Flags intended for ceremonial or indoor presentation may require different hardware from outdoor flags.

• Keep the flag clear of branches, siding, roofs and rough surfaces.
• Check the pole and halyard rating before adding a second flag.
• Inspect attachment points, seams and fly ends periodically.
• Follow the manufacturer's washing and storage instructions.
• Take appropriate precautions during severe weather when it is safe to do so.

For poles and compatible installation components, browse flagpoles and flagpole hardware.

Displaying Military Flags with the U.S. Flag

When flying the United States flag and a military-branch flag together, follow the U.S. Flag Code and any relevant organizational protocol. When flags share a halyard, the U.S. flag should fly at the peak. Check that the pole can safely support the combined flags and their wind load.

POW/MIA Flags and Remembrance

POW/MIA flags represent the nation's continuing concern for prisoners of war and service members missing in action. These are available in a separate POW/MIA Flags collection, where you can compare the specific designs and sizes offered.

Visit the POW/MIA Flags collection for available American-made POW/MIA designs. POW/MIA flags are distinct from individual military branch flags.

Does a military flag come with a pole?

Only if the individual product specifically states that a pole or staff is included. Some cemetery flag listings include a wood staff, while other flags are sold separately from their mounting hardware.
