Proper Flag Etiquette
MAKE SURE THAT THE FLAG CAN WAVE FREELY.
Never allow the flag to touch the ground or any other object while it is on display.
STAND FOR AMERICA.
Salute the American flag as it is hoisted and lowered and while saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Stand at attention with your right hand over your heart and hat removed.
REMEMBER THE DAWN TO DUSK RULE.
Display the American flag outdoors only between sunrise and sunset, unless illuminated by a spotlight.
POSITION YOUR FLAG CORRECTLY.
When displaying the American flag indoors, always place it to the right of a speaker or staging area.
KNOW HOW TO SHOW YOUR HONOR.
To place the American flag at half-staff, first hoist it to the peak for an instant before lowering it to a halfway position.
