Question - I bought a 20' flag pole

[Snattlerake]

Which way does the eagle face? During military deployment it always faces toward home.
The interwebs say face the eagle outward the same direction as the main elevation faces.

I'm thinking since I have a corner lot and the most exposure is toward the corner at a diagonal, I should face the eagle at the diagonal toward the two streets. I am planning to have a small landscaped area surrounding the flagpole for ease of mowing.

Thoughts?

Can I ask a flag question too?
Is there a law stipulating that you HAVE to fly them at half mast when the WH says to?
This is in regards to privately owned poles on private property

I have no answer to your question although I do have a website that will notify when you are asked to fly the flag at half mast via text or email.
According to the proclamation in the link the White House can order federal buildings, ships, etc under federal regulations to fly at half mast but it says nothing about private citizens.

As far a small I know, there are no “laws” on flying an American flag, only codes which are strong suggestions. For example, pretty sure neither the police and no one else can fine you or penalize you for flying an unlit flag after dark. Lowering it is an act of respect, but not necessarily a violation. There are now apps that tell you the status of the supposed flag position.

Aintagonnadoit fer Obiden jus cause he says to. I will decide for myself.

Far as I'm concerned after this last faux election the America I know is dead and I need to permanently fly the US flag at half staff.

Thanks!
Since the article says the eagle shouldn't be flown on outside flags because the flag could be torn by it mine won't tear it because the flags are not on a rope and are free to pivot. My pole is easily removable so it is an option.

As a private citizen, you are not required to ever fly your flag at half staff. I usually do for a fallen LE officer, but not usually any other time, unless it's something big. Currently, I fly Old Glory and Col. Gadsden on my pole and a U.S. Navy flag on another pole mounted to my front porch, honoring my neice who is a Petty Officer 3rd class, stationed in San Diego, aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.

I'm wanting to put up two more poles, so I can also display a Christian flag, a thin blue line flag, maybe a POW/MIA flag, or perhaps an Oklahoma flag.

Or upside down.....

The article also says I should fly with the eagle pointing toward Washington D.C.

It didn't say which end I should point!
