You can see it in almost every neighborhood. There are flags that have been flying 24/7 for the last six years. They don't go up smartly at 8 AM, they don't get lowered respectfully at sunset. They just fly until there's nothing left but the grommets.

Yeah, I know. They're civilians and its allowed. I think that's a pretty big hint for this topic.
It is my understanding there is absolutely no regulation civilian or military which prevents the 24 hour display of the National Ensign. There is however Army and Navy flag code which state the times a National Ensign shall be displayed on military land installations and ships import and at sea. I know of several military installations that fly Old Glory 24 hours which also satisfies the 0800 to Sunset required times it must be on display. Ships at sea display it 24 hours a day as well.
