4 U.S.C. section 1

INTERPRETIVE NOTES AND DECISIONS

"Placing of fringe on national flag, dimensions of flag, and arrangement of stars in union are matters of detail not controlled by statute, but are within discretion of President as Commander-In-Chief of Army and Navy." (1925) 34 Op. Atty. Gen. 483 

The gold-fringed flag:

      Pursuant to U.S.C. Chapter 1, Sections 1, 2 and 3; Executive order

 No.10834, August 21, 1959, 24 F.R. 6865, a military flag is a flag that

 resembles the regular flag of the United States, except that it has a YELLOW

 FRINGE border on three sides.  The President of the United states designates

 this deviation from the regular flag, by executive order, and by his

 capacity as COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of the Armed Forces.

 that they must either submit to its operation or not contract with him."
