U.S. Code, Title 36, Chapter 10 (please take a minute)

Thanks for the site, bride to be. He didn't believe me about the dresses! I appreciate your help! I know you say you don't know if you agree with me or not, and I would have to say about a year or so ago I didn't either b/c I didn't know.. But I ask everyone to take a minute and read below! Thanks In case anyone cared, I think this is all very important to know. Since it is also a law that not many people know about. With Joe being in service I take alot of pride and respect in the flag especially since the Air Force will be the mistress in our marriage..lol Q: What steps should Americans take to make sure they are properly flying the U.S. flag? A: Since the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the American people have united together to mourn those whose lives were lost, to grieve with the victims' families, to open up their pocketbooks to offer financial assistance and to express hope through patriotic tributes and gestures across the country. A popular and appropriate way to show pride and allegiance to our nation is by displaying the Stars and Stripes. In the last month, American flags can be found virtually everywhere. They're hanging from our homes, barns, businesses and schools. Flags can be seen running up and down Main Street U.S.A. You see the emblematic red, white and blue lining our lawns and adorning our pets. Flags are fastened to car antennas and screened on T-shirts, scarves and backpacks. However, some folks may not know there are rules regulating proper display of the American flag. According to U.S. Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, the flag should not be displayed during inclement weather, except when an all-weather flag is used. In addition, it also should be displayed: only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and flagpoles unless properly illuminated during the night; either horizontally or vertically against a wall or window as long as the flag's blue field of stars is on the top positioned to the observer's left; higher than any other state or local flag hanging or flying next to it; and, aloft and free, never carried flat or horizontally. Do not let the flag touch anything beneath it, such as the floor, water or a table. Flag lapel pins should be worn on your left side near the heart. 'DON'TS' FOR DISPLAYING THE U.S. FLAG The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement, except when an all-weather flag is displayed. The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade except from a staff. The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, floor, water, or merchandise. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general. The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way. The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling. The flag should never be placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discord. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. No part of the flag should ever be used as a custom or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policeman, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin, being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart. No other flag or pennants should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the U.S. flag, except during church services conducted by a naval chaplain aboard a U.S. naval vessel at sea or ashore, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. The flag should form a distinctive feature of the ceremony of unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never be used as the covering for the statue or monument.
