Flag Etiquette
Over the years, Americans have developed rules and customs concerning the use and display of the flag. One of the most important things every American should remember is to treat the flag with respect.
• The flag should be raised and lowered by hand and dis- played only from sunrise to sunset. On special occasions, it may be displayed at night, but it should be illuminated.
• The flag may be displayed on all days, weather permit- ting, particularly on national and state holidays and on historic and special occasions.
• No flag may be flown above the American flag or to the right of it at the same height.
• The flag should never touch the ground or floor beneath it.
• The flag may be flown at half-staff by order of the president, usually to mourn the death of a public official.
• The flag may be flown upside down only to signal distress.
• When the flag becomes old and tattered, it should be destroyed by burning. According to an approved cus- tom, the Union (stars on blue field) is first cut from the flag; then the two pieces, which no longer form a flag, are burned.
The Star-Spangled Banner
O! say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the Rockets’ red glare, the Bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our Flag was still there;
O! say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the Land of the free and the home of the brave!
The Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
