I hope many of you are flying your flags high and proudly. Celebrating with friends of family or visiting the grave of a loved one. I bought this little book years are for my husband. Frankly, I didn’t know flying a flag had rules. I’m only going to share a glimpse of the book.

To show respect for the flag don’t let it touch anything below it such as ground, floor or water.

If hanging multiple flags, the American flag always first.

Unless you have an all-weather flag with a light shown on it, you need to take down during nighttime.

Your flag should stay inside if raining, snowing or the wind is blowing could tear your flag.

Memorial Day(half staff until noon) .

They last surprised me. How do you fly your flag?
