On this Flag Day, we are pleased to share these important points about flag etiquette from the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). 🇺🇸
▶️ Do not let the flag touch the ground.
▶️ Do not fly the flag upside down unless there is an emergency.
▶️ Do not carry the flag flat, or carry things in it.
▶️ Do not use the flag as clothing.
▶️ Do not store the flag where it can get dirty.
▶️ Do not use it as a cover.
▶️ Do not fasten it or tie it back. Always allow it to fall free.
▶️ Do not draw on, or otherwise mark the flag.
Per federal code, it is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset.
The flag may be displayed twenty-four hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.
