This time of year, I enjoy speaking about Flag Etiquette. With Flag Day and the 4th of July approaching, many people will be flying the American Flag.
The 50 star Flag became the “Official Flag of the United States” on July 4, 1960.
Do you know the proper way to display the Flag of the United States?
According to Flag etiquette, if the Flag is displayed on a pole or a building it is hung with the union, (that is the blue field with the stars) in the top left corner of the Flag, as you are looking at it. This rule applies when hanging it horizontally, as well as vertically.
Please join me in properly and proudly displaying the Flag of the United States.
