Flag Day is an American holiday celebrating and showing respect to our flag and the people who designed and created it. Our flag represents our independence as Americans and our unity as a nation. It leads our soldiers in battle and many have died protecting it. It even stands on the moon.
We Americans are proud of our nation, our culture, our people and our flag that represents all of those things. So raise your flag on Flag day and show that American spirit!
The Way to Display
There is a right way and a wrong way to display our American flag. It stands for America and the people who risked their lives for it and our flag. Here are some of the ways to display the American flag:
* The flag should be flown from sunrise to sunset.
* In the morning, raise the flag quickly. At night time, bring it down slowly.
* If you're going to fly it at night it should have a light on it.
* The flag should not be flown when it's raining or when the weather is bad.
* After a tragedy or death, you should fly your flag at half staff for 30 days. It's called "half staff".
* The American flag is always on top any other flag such as your state flag are below it.
* Never put your flag upside down.
* Never let your flag touch the ground.
* Fold your flag when it is not flying. Don't throw it in a drawer or box.
