An upside down flag is a recognized distress signal. In the United States, according to the U.S. Flag Code, flying the American flag upside down is a signal of:
“dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.”
Common Uses and Meanings:
-
Distress: Traditionally used in situations of emergency, like shipwrecks or danger where immediate help is needed.
-
Protest: Sometimes used symbolically to express political dissent, discontent with the government, or perceived threats to democracy or civil rights.
-
Controversy: Using the flag this way outside of life-threatening situations can provoke strong reactions. Some see it as a powerful form of protest; others view it as disrespectful.
If you're seeing an upside down flag, the context usually helps determine whether it’s a literal distress signal or a symbolic protest. Let me know if there's a specific instance you're referring to.
