Flag Day & Flag Etiquette

Flag Etiquette
The following are not laws;
they are examples of courteous flag etiquette.

  1. Fly a U.S. flag above all other flags on a flagpole.

  2. An upside-down flag is a sign of distress.

  3. A flag at half-mast is a sign of mourning.

  4. When raising or lowering a flag half-mast, first raise the flag to
    the top of the flagpole.

  5. It is unacceptable to lower a flag over a casket into a grave.

  6. It is acceptable to display a flag at night if it is properly illuminated.

  7. The blue portion of the flag will be visible on a properly folded flag.

  8. Give a flag that's beyond repair to your local American Legion Post
    - they will dispose of it properly.
