Question

State three rules for the care of the flag and peples conduct towards it?

Answer 1

Never let it touch the ground!

Never ball it up and stow it somewhere. There is a proper way to fold a flag and store it.

Never burn it.

Always salute it when it passes by you at revile or retreat.

Always keep your flag fresh. If it's old and dingy, replace it.

Never throw it away. Always take it to a local VFW and it will be retired and properly disposed of.

Answer 2

Do not allow it to touch the ground.

Display it all day and take it down at night (unless it is illuminated)

Display at t he position of honor (to the right when looking at a stage or podium area)

Answer 3

There are a bunch of rules.  Some may pertain to you, some may not.

It can never touch the ground.

If you need to dispose of it, take it to a VFW or American Legion and they will give it a proper disposal.

If you are displaying it with other flags, it will always be taller than the other flags displayed.  It will also be to the left as you are looking at it, as that is the order of importance.  The only time it is not to the left is if you are displaying something higher (UN Flag or something to that nature)

If it is at night, it either has to be illuminated.  If it is not, then you need to take it down for the night.

There is a proper way to fold the flag.  Learn it, live it, love it.

If it is not illuminated, then you take it down around 5 PM and raise it around 6 or 6:30 AM.  Again, it cannot touch the ground.

If you are not the one taking it down or putting it up, you are to salute the flag on it's journey (up or down).

When you are standing for a parade or something and the flag passes, you are to salute (even when you are not in uniform).  Remember, you are a soldier/marine/seaman/airman 24/7, even if you are a reservist.

Answer 4

The US Flag is the symbol of a living country and is therefore considered to alive itself. (from Title 4)

1. It is OK to have them cleaned.

2. Storage is not covered in Title 4. Folding is done for placement in a display case.

3. They should be burned in a ceremony to be retired.

4. On Memorial Day they are to be at half staff ONLY till noon and then raised to full staff.

5. When being lowered from half staff it is to be first raised to full staff then lowered. When being placed at half staff it is to raised fully and then lowered to half staff.

6. The President and each Gov. are the only people that can order the Flag to half staff.

7. Title 4 "suggests" it be lit at night, it does not state it "must" be lit.

8. When displayed with other Flags on poles it should be to the observers left (the Flags own right). The easy way is to arrange them with the US Flag in the # 1 position.

9. Flags of other nations are to be at equal height. To have the National Flag of another Nation lower indicates we are at war with them.

10. When raised it should be done briskly at a steady pace. When lowered it should done slowly and at a steady pace.

11. Veterans ae now allowed (at thier option) to salute the Flag. This applies to sporting events during the National Anthem or at funerals as an Honor Guard pass's or a Parade as it pass's. You need not be under cover and it is up to you. This was "pork" in the Jan Defense Budget.

12. Read up at the 2 links.

Answer 5

The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal.

The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose.

The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations.

The flag should never have placed on it, or attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind.

When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff.

When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea.

When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag's union should be farthest from the building.

When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.

..The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger.

..No other flag ever should be placed above it.

..The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered.

When flown with the national banner of other countries, each flag must be displayed from a separate pole of the same height. Each flag should be the same size. They should be raised and lowered simultaneously. The flag of one nation may not be displayed above that of another nation.
