It is important to show our patriotism correctly by displaying our flag appropriately. Here are eight important rules for properly displaying the American flag.
- Embroidered Stars and Sewn Stripes
- 100% Made in USA
- For High Wind and All-Weather Conditions
Of course, the flag is not to touch the ground. Displaying a faded, torn or tattered flag is also inappropriate. Don’t forget to fold your flag properly when you are done displaying it.
