Respect It      Display It Correctly      Treat It With Care

It is the universal custom to display the national flag from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open on all days that weather permits, but especially on national and state holidays and other days that may be proclaimed by the President of the United States. On Memorial Day, the U.S. flag should be half-staffed until noon.

The U.S. flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during hours of darkness. The U.S. flag should be displayed DAILY on or near the main building of every public institution, during school days in or near every schoolhouse, and in or near polling places on election days. Always hoist the U.S. flag briskly. Lower it ceremoniously.
