Flag Code

Rhonda Rodentilly, Document Historian

Did you know that there is a Flag Code that tells us everything we should and shouldn’t do with our flag?  This code tells us how to display the flag properly, when it should be displayed, how to treat the flag, and even how to dispose of a flag that is old.  Did you know that you should not wear a t-shirt with the flag on it?  You can put a flag patch on a shirt, like the military or sports teams.  Another part of the flag code is that the flag must be properly illuminated at night if being flown.  There are all sorts of interesting and amazing rules and customs concerning our flag.  Read the entire Flag Code here, at the American Legion site.  Click on the topics on the left side!  Enjoy.
