Our Flag
The first flag with the alter
nate red and white stripes, plus
the stars was designed in 1775..
Six months later the Continental
Congress adopted this flag.
The blue stands for freedom.
The stars were in a circular
form. This symbolized eternity.
The white denotes purity.
The stripes show equality and
the red bravery.
No state allows the flag to be
used for advertising.
The flag should be flown from
^sunrise to sunset, and only in
good weather. It must not touch
the ground or t rail in the water.
When raising the flag do it
briskly and lower it reverently.
Only the church flag can fly
above the ‘stars and stripes” on
the same staff, and this is only
on two occasions. They are: dur
ing a religious ceiemony on one
of our Navy ships or in a mili
tary chapel.
Ou>- flag should always have
the place of honor.Thar is,to the
right of the speaker or column
of flags If in the center of the
column it should be a little a
head of the others
It should never be carried flat
or horizontal, but allowed to
wave freely
Never use it as a drapery.
The flag is flown at half-mast
to denote mourning. It should be
hoisted to the top of the staff
and then lowered to position.
After a funeral it should be rais
ed to the top.
It should not be used as a de
sign for pillows, handkerchiefs,
napkins, etc.
If the flag is torn or dirty do
not use it but burn it privately.
When the flag is passing men
remove their hats service men
salute and women and children
stand quietly at attention
