Because of Those Who fought and have fallen
LET OUR FLAG ALWAYS FLY
Our nation's flag is a symbol of who we are as a people — the living history of every citizen of the United States. We won't all agree on what it means, and that's alright. In fact, it's part of the point: the freedom to hold different opinions, to speak our minds, to think for ourselves, is exactly what that flag protects. No one understands that more than our soldiers. Some have given their lives in the act of saving one of our nation's flags on the battlefield. The least we can do in return is show it respect.
A Quick Guide to the U.S. Flag Code
The U.S. Flag Code (Title 4, U.S. Code, Chapter 1) is the set of customs Americans have agreed on for displaying and handling the national flag. It's less a law with penalties and more a tradition of respect — here's the plain-language version.
Displaying the Flag
- Fly it sunrise to sunset, or 24/7 if properly lit at night
- Don't fly it in bad weather unless it's all-weather fabric
- It takes the top spot on a shared pole, or the position of honor among separate poles
- Never let it touch the ground, floor, or water
- Raise it briskly, lower it slowly and with care
Showing Respect
- Never wear it, use it as bedding, or drape it for décor
- Keep it free of ads, words, or images
- Salute or place your hand over your heart as it passes or is raised
- Retire a worn flag with dignity, traditionally by respectful, private burning
Flying at Half-Staff
- Lowered to mourn government officials, on days like Memorial Day, or by proclamation
- Run it briskly to the top first, then lower it to half-staff
Why It Matters
- The Code treats the flag as a living symbol of the nation
- That's why it's handled with the same care you'd show a person, not just an object
