Exceptions would allow POW/MIA and Hostage and Wrongful Detainee flags, and flags of visiting diplomats. Members of Congress could display their State flag at their offices. Military unit or branch flags, and flags supporting the Armed Forces, would be permitted. Historical U.S. flags like the Betsy Ross, Gadsden, and Bennington would be allowed. Public safety flags, and 9/11 Memorial and Remembrance Day flags, would be allowed. During religious services on military sites, flags of qualifying 501(c)(3) religious groups could be used.
