How to Display the American Flag

6/1/2022

 
Do you know the official rules for properly displaying the U.S. flag?
  • Display the flag outside from sunrise to sunset. If you want to fly it after dark, it will need to be lit.
  • Don’t fly the flag during inclement weather, unless it’s an all-weather flag.
  • The union of the flag--the blue section with white stars--should be placed at the peak of the staff
  • When the flag is displayed on a flat surface like a wall, the union should be at the top left.
  • The flag should never touch anything beneath it, so make sure it’s hoisted at the proper height.
  • Half-staff: During periods of mourning, it is common to see the flag flying at half-staff. Only presidents can proclaim such periods for a national remembrance. Governors can also declare mourning periods at a local level. Traditionally, states and local governments follow the president’s proclamation during a period of national mourning.
  • Take care of your flag. Store your flag in a well-ventilated area. If it gets wet, make sure it’s completely dry before storing it.
  • If the flag is damaged or worn out, it should be burned and disposed of with dignity.
