Flag Etiquette

Show your pride in America by displaying the American flag at home. Show your respect for the flag by following the guidelines below.

	Only display the flag between sunrise and sunset. The flag may be displayed when dark outside if it is illuminated.
	Do not display flag during rain or other inclement weather.
	The canton (blue field with white stars) should always appear in the upper left corner whether it is displayed horizontally or vertically.
	The American flag should always be displayed higher than state, city or other flags when multiple flags are displayed together.
	If displaying the flag on a flagstaff, raise the flag quickly and lower it slowly.
	When displaying the flag at half-staff, raise the flag to the top of the pole first, then lower it to the middle of the pole.
	If the flag is worn or damaged in a way that makes it unusable, it should be destroyed by burning it in a ceremonious manner.
	When not being displayed, the flag should be folded by two people in a triangular shape.
	Do not let the flag touch the ground.
