U.S. Flag Code

The U.S. Flag Code is a set of guidelines for Respectfully Displaying and Handling the American flag. It outlines proper folding, display, and lighting of the flag, emphasizing respect and reverence. The code advises on appropriate occasions for flying the flag, how to treat a worn flag for disposal, and rules for hoisting and saluting it. While it isn’t legally enforceable, the code promotes uniformity and dignity in honoring the national symbol, reflecting patriotic observance and respect for the country’s values.
