Rules For Flag
Observance
The b'ue and starry canton
(the Union) of the Flag is its
honor point. When the Flag is
hung either vertically or horizon
tally, against a wall, the stars
are at the Flag’s own right hand,
that is, to the observer’s left.
The Flag should be carried or
placed at the right of all persons
or objects (such as those in win
dow displays), and a I other flags
should be placed at the left—ex
cept in procession, when the U
S Flag may be in front and in
the center.
On platforms, and in chancels
of churches, the flag (one alone)
should be on its staff at the right
of the speaker, and slightly in
front of him.,If the flag is in the
body of a church or hall it should
be at the right of the people as
they face pulpit or platform
Never cross two U. S. Flags a
gainst a wall. To do so makes
one of them point to its left, or
traditionally the ‘ cowardly”
direction.
One Flag is majestic; more is
decoration For draping and dec
oration use bunting; always have
the blue stripe at the top, or at
the observer’s left, if vert cal.
The correct older of colors is
blue white-red. Never use the
Flag as the covering when un
veiling or dedicating a tablet or
monument.
The Flag should never trail in
the water, never touch the
ground or anything beneath it
It is never laid flat. The only ex
ception is when it covers the cof
fin of one who has seryed in our
armed services.
The Flag should be half staffed
only for persons who have once
offered their lives in its defense—
never for any other person ex
cept by Presidential authority.
For state or city officials half
staff the state or city flag.
All persons not in uniform
salute a passing or a stationary
Flag by holding the right hand
over the heart. If out of doors,
men should remove the hat and
hold it in right hand over the
heart—the I in coin salute for civ
ilians.
When the Flag has become
faded, worn or torn, do not
throw it away. Burn it, that it
may never, by chance, reach ig
noble uses.
It is the strict rule of the army
to fly the Flag only between sun
rise and sunset and civilians gen
erally follow the same rule. It is
permissible, however, to display
the Flag outdoors at night when
there is some special occasion.
