What was the phrase Don't Tread on Me?
Don't Tread on Me Flag (Gadsden Flag)First flown aboard a Colonial Troop ship on January 4th, 1776This was the flag of the American Colonies at the time of the American Revolution against England.It features a rattlesnake above the warning, "DON'T TREAD ON ME". The rattlesnake had become a traditional symbol of the American Colonies. The most obvious reason for this is that the rattlesnake was only found in the American Colonies (and in abundance, to the dismay of settlers) and nowhere else in the world. The origin of the slogan (Don't Tread On Me) pertains to the snake's deadly strike and the idea that it is best to leave them alone.The snake on the flag is also roughly arranged in the shape of the American Colonies with the tip of the tail being the Florida peninsula and the head being New England.Because of its connection with the original intention of the U.S. Constitution and the freedoms sought by the American Revolutionaries, this Flag has been informally adopted by many Libertarians and those seeking strict interpretations of the U.S. Constitution.Viper1The flag is still flown on the Jack Staff of all U.S. Navy ships during a time of conflict.

What are the Rules for flying an American flag with another flag from two poles?
It all depends on which flag it is flying along side:For flying with flag other than a different nation's flag:"If the flagpoles are the same height, the American flag should be placed in a position of honor, which is the extreme left, as the flags are most frequently viewed. If there are multiple flagpoles with the center flagpole in taller height, the American flag would fly on the taller, more prominent flagpole.When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the American flag should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the flag's right."For flying with the flags of other nations:"When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate flagpoles at the same height. The flags should be approximately equal in size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.The American flag should never been on the same halyard as another nations flag. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the American flag should be hoisted first and lowered last."Taken from:http://www.americanflagsforsale.com/american-flag-etiquette.aspx-Matt

Can you fly a flag below the American flag?
Yes. But the only flag that can be flown at the same height is the Texas flag. Because it was a republic every other flag is flow below it if it is being flown.such as: st.flags, business flags, army/military flags, ect. --- Actually it is a common misconception, largely born out of Texas pride - that only Texas can fly their flag at the same height as the American Stars n' Stripes. Any state can fly their fly at the same height. There are no special provisions in the US Flag Code. However it is interesting to note that Texas's own Flag Code states that the state flag should either be flown below the U.S. flag if on the same pole or at the same height as the U.S. flag if on separate poles. Vermont and California were also a republic once upon a time.
How to Choose Where to Put a Flag Pole?
A flag pole can add charm to any lawn or business building. Where you place the flag pole depends on several different variables. Some flags require different etiquette than others, which can be an important issue when you choose the right location for your flag pole. What Type of Flag Will be Flown If you are planning to fly a flag that is purely decorative or shows your support for your favorite school, it really does not matter where you place the flag pole. Since there are no rules for where and how you fly a school or decorative flag, you are free to be as creative as you like. If you intend to fly the American flag, however, there are several things that need to be considered. The American flag has many rules attached to flying it that can be very important. Even if you do not care for the rules of flying the flag, the people who view your flag may be incredibly insulted if you break the rules. Accessibility Make sure your flag is easy to get to. Even decorative and school flags become faded and ragged after they have been flown for a long time. You will need to be able to pull the flag down and replace it as often as you like. The American flag needs to be taken down during inclement weather. It should also be brought down every evening unless it is lighted properly. Traditional flag convention holds that the American flag should not be flown at night in front of a residence or business location. Lighting If you do not think you will be able to manage bringing the American flag in every evening, you can still fly your flag without breaking any etiquette rules. Simply place your flag pole in an area where you can shine a light directly on the flag after dark. If the flag is properly illuminated from dusk to dawn it simulates the sun, which keeps everyone happy. Flying a flag in the dark of night is considered a taboo by those who adhere carefully to the national rules for flying the American flag on civilian soil.
