Yachts at anchor or moored alongside may proudly display the "US Union Jack" (as
opposed to the "Union Jack" of the British Isles) at the burgee staff or some
other place "right forward" on US national holidays.

You can make one by cutting the union from a US ensign or ordering one from
places such as this: http://www.flagstuff.com/nautical-flags/unionjack.html

The jack should be the same size as the union of the US ensign flown aft, and
the top points of the stars should be vertical (it's easy to get this wrong).
