The Way to Display
There is a right way and a
wrong way to display our American flag. It stands for America and the
people who risked their lives for it and our flag. Here are some of the
ways to display the American flag:
- The flag should be
flown from sunrise to sunset.
- In the morning, raise
the flag quickly. At night time, bring it down slowly.
- If you're going to fly
it at night it should have a light on it.
- The flag should not be
flown when it's raining or when the weather is bad.
- After a tragedy or
death, you should fly your flag at half staff for 30 days. It's
called "half staff".
- The American flag is
always on top any other flag such as your state flag are below
it.
- Never put your flag
upside down.
- Never let your flag
touch the ground.
- Fold your flag when it
is not flying. Don't throw it in a drawer or box.
- When your flag is old
and worn out, get a new one. Old flags should be burned or buried.
Don't throw it in the trash.
