I've seen it argued that as you're looking at the back of the float, you'd want to see the US Flag on the curb, or right, side of the float.

Others have said that as the float is proceeding forward, as the flags are coming TOWARD you at that point, the US Flag should be on the street, or left, side of the float.

What say you, oh great Flag Knowledge Presenter?
