170 On the morning of March 14, 2019, the American flag was lowered for the last time at the United States Embassy in Caracas. This morning, March 14, 2026, at the same hour, my team and I raised the United States flag—exactly seven years after it was removed.

Gold fringe denotes maritime admiralty law.
I don't think I've ever seen one flying on a flagpole - only indoors...aka just beyond "the bar" "aboard a vessel" IYKYK
Me, either...
A powerful moment. Great post GDZ!
Come to think of it. You are correct, I've never seen the fringe on an outdoor flag. So, what is the difference between an American flag and a United States flag?
There IS a difference... but you have to dig on it to find it.
Sorry I don't have it at the ready.
Come back and let everyone else know what you find.
