Flag Day

Celebrate Flag Day today by proudly displaying your flag.

Here the basics on displaying the American flag.

• The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset.
• In the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously.
• The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it.
• The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather.
• When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field is at the top and at the end of the pole (away from your house).
• The American flag is always flown at the top of the pole. Your state flag and other flags fly below it.
• Never let your flag touch the ground.
• Fold your flag when storing.
• When your flag is old and has seen  better days, it is time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried.
