How to properly fold the Flag.
questions:
- The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an
appropriate light source. - The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for
inclement weather use. - The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside
down only as a distress signal. - The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue,
white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the
bunting should be on the top. - The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be
embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions,
handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after
temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or
halyard. - The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except
that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel,
fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations. - The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number,
figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it. - The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering
anything. - When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any
other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the
flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. - The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary.
- When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our
country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.
