Flagging Welcome to the Flagging page, here we will show you the proper way to flag graves using the United States flags provided by this program. Flagging Graves For a flat headstone/marker, placement of the flag can either be to the left front of the headstone or to the center rear of the headstone/marker. For an upright headstone/marker, placement of the flag is to be to the left front of the headstone/marker, at a 45 degree angle of the left front corner of the headstone/marker. With either type of headstone the flag should never be placed in front of the printing on the headstone/marker. There should only be one (1) U.S. flag per veteran, even if he/she has two headstones/markers.
