I was going to post this the other day, but I have been sick since Sunday, so today will have to do.
For Veteran's Day, rules for displaying the flag:
When the national flag is displayed flat, either horizontally or vertically, on a wall or in a window, the union (blue field) should be at the top and to the observer's left when facing the flag.
When displaying from a staff projection from a windowsill, balcony, or the from the front of a building, the union (blue field) should be at the staff's peak (unless the flag is at half-staff).
The U.S. Flag Code, adopted in 1923 and amended by Public Law 94-344 in 1976, states "It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset...However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the darkness hours.
When displayed on a stage or platform, the national flag should be to the speaker's right. Any other flag is on the speaker's left.
When suspended, the flag should be vertical with the union to the north over an east-west street and to the east over a north-south street. The flag should be hoisted out union (blue field) first.
Flag decals and stickers may be correctly displayed on the inside of motor vehicle side windows.
Rules for flying the flag:
The U.S. Flag Code, adopted in 1923 and amended by Public Law 94-344 in 1976, states "It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset...However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness."
When flags or pennants of states, cities, or societies are flown with the national flag on the same halyard, the U.S. flag should fly at the peak, above all others.
If other flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the U.S. flag should always be to the right of all others and should be hoisted first and lowered last.
Flags of other nations must be flown from separate flagpoles of equal height, and all flags should be approximately equal in size with the U.S. flag. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
Rules for wearing the flag:
A flag patch may be attached to such uniforms as those of athletes, fire fighters, police officers, and members of patriotic organizations. The national flag should not be used as a costume or athletic uniform.
Flag lapel pins should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
Reproductions of the national flag in any medium such as jewelry, pins, button, or printed materials must show the union (blue field) on the top and to the observer's left when facing the flag.
Just follow the rules, okay?
