FLAG ETIQUETTE

Here are some tips to make sure your tribute is a respectful one: 

• Display the flag only between sunrise and sunset on buildings and stationary flagstaffs. The flag may be displayed for twenty-four hours if illuminated in darkness. 
• Do not display the flag in inclement weather. 
• Whether displaying the flag vertically or horizontally, make sure the canton of stars is visible on the upper left-hand side. 
• Do not let the flag touch the ground. 
• An unusable flag that is damaged and worn and can no longer be displayed should be destroyed in a dignified way by burning. 
• When not on display, the flag should be respectfully folded into a triangle, symbolizing the tricorn hats worn by colonial soldiers in the Revolutionary War.
