Treating the Flag with respect Federal law stipulates many aspects of flag etiquette. The section of law dealing with American Flag etiquette is generally referred to as the Flag Code. Some general guidelines from the Flag Code answer many of the most common questions: • The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source.
• When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. To store the flag it should be folded neatly and ceremoniously. • The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary. When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.
• The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use. • The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. • The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is available for these purposes. The blue stripe of the bunting should be on the top.
Tyler Souders of the Columbiana Public Works Department places Old Glory on each lamp post lining South Main Street in the downtown section of the city. Assisting Souders with the project were drivers, Jesse Wilson and Ed Frame and co-worker Ron May.
• The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. It should not be embroidered, printed or otherwise impressed on such articles as cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything intended to be discarded after temporary use. Advertising signs should not be attached to the staff or halyard. • 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 any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it. • The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.

You’re A Grand Old Flag Verse 1
Verse 2
There's a feeling comes a-stealing, And it sets my brain a-reeling, When I'm listening to the music of a military band. Any tune like "Yankee Doodle" Simply sets me off my noodle, It's that patriotic something that no one can understand. "Way down south, in the land of cotton," Melody untiring, Ain't that inspiring? Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll join the jubilee! And that's going some, for the Yankees, by gum! Red, white and blue, I am for you! Honest, you're a grand old flag!
Chorus You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. But should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

Evolution of the American Flag 0 Stars • Continental Colors 1775-1777 Also known as the Grand Union flag, the Union flag, the Continental flag, the Somerville flag and the Great Union. Designed with a British Union Jack in the canton and 13 alternating red and white stripes. Considered to the be the first American flag, but it was never official. The Maritime Committee of Continental Congress considered it the official flag of the American naval forces. 13 Stars • Betsy Ross Flag 1777-1795 First official flag of the United States. Designed with 13 stars and 13 stripes to represent the 13 colonies (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island). Since Congress did not specify dimensions, proportions, shapes or star patterns, flags varied dramatically. Legend says that Betsy Ross designed and sewed the first American flag, but most historians disagree. The person who sewed the first flag is unknown, but
the designer is thought to be Francis Hopkinson. The Second Continental Congress passed the Flag Resolution of 1777 on June 14, 1777 making the Betsy Ross flag official. This date is now celebrated annually as Flag Day The only president to serve under this flag was George Washington. 15 Stars • Star Spangled Banner Flag 1795-1818 Designed with 15 stars and 15 stripes to represent the 13 original states plus Kentucky and Vermont. Made by Mary Pickersgill and her daughter. In 1812 the flag was flown over Fort McHenry, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner poem, which was put to music to become America’s national anthem. The Star Spangled Banner is on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe all served under this flag.

Folding the American Flag Though not part of the official Flag Code, according to military custom, flags should be folded into a triangular shape when not in use. To properly fold the flag: • Begin by holding it waist-high with another person so that its surface is parallel to the ground. • Fold the lower half of the stripe section lengthwise over the field of stars, holding the bottom and top edges securely. • Fold the flag again lengthwise with the blue field on the outside. • Make a rectangular fold then a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to meet the open top edge of the flag, starting the fold from the left side over to the right. • Turn the outer end point inward, parallel to the open edge, to form a second triangle. • The triangular folding is continued until the entire length of the flag is folded in this manner (usually thirteen triangular folds, as shown at right). On the final fold, any remnant that does not neatly fold into a triangle (or in the case of exactly even folds, the last triangle) is tucked into the previous fold. • When the flag is completely folded, only a triangular blue field of stars should be visible.

The flag did not appear on U.S. postal stamp issues until the Battle of White Plains Issue was released in 1926, depicting the flag with a circle of 13 stars. The 48-star flag first appeared on the General Casimir Pulaski issue of 1931, though in a small monochrome depiction. The first U.S. postage stamp to feature the flag as the sole subject was issued July 4, 1957, pictured (top)

USA Flag Facts • Morning Journal • June 14, 2013 • 21 On some U.S. military uniforms, flag patches are worn on the right shoulder, following the vehicle convention with the union toward the front.
Flag of the United States on American astronaut Neil Armstrong's space suit.
This rule dates back to the Army's early history, when both mounted cavalry and infantry units would designate a standard bearer, who carried the Colors into battle. As he charged, his forward motion caused the flag to stream back. Since the Stars and Stripes are mounted with the canton closest to the pole, that section stayed to the right, while the stripes flew to the left. Every US astronaut since the crew of Gemini 4 has worn the flag on the left shoulder of his or her space suit, with the exception of the crew of Apollo 1, whose flags were worn on the right shoulder. In this case, the canton was on the left.
