How to Respect the American Flag - National Flag Foundation
The American Flag is a representation of our country, our people, and our devotion to our nation. Respecting the American Flag and the principles that it symbolizes requires us to treat it with a high level of care at all times. The United States Flag Code sets forth key guidelines for properly handling the American Flag.
There are a lot of self-proclaimed “patriots” out there who need to familiarize themselves with these rules. I’ve knocked on the doors of strangers I’ve seen flying the American flag wrong more than once.
