Flying the Flag

Since the 4th of July is approaching this coming weekend - can you believe it is coming so fast - we found this great information on how to fly our flag. We thought it was pretty informative and that it would be great to pass on. Here it is:
How to Fly The Flag
  • Raise the flag briskly. Lower it ceremoniously.
  • Never allow the flag to touch the ground or floor.
  • Do not fly the flag in bad weather, unless it is an all-weather flag.
  • The flag can only be flown at night if properly illuminated. Otherwise, it should only be flown from sunrise to sunset.
  • The flag should always be allowed to fall free.
  • The flag should never be used to carry, store, or deliver anything.
  • Never fly the flag upside down except to signal an emergency.

We hope you all have a safe and Happy 4th of July.
