Flying Old Glory
Fourth of July is just around the corner. It’s the perfect time to fly Old Glory.
Did you know there is a flag code in the United States? It has many recommendations, including how to display, wash and retire a U.S. flag.
There are also recommended holidays to fly the flag. The flag code was recently changed to encourage the flying of the flag on Father’s Day.
You may not be able to fly the Stars and Stripes from a fire truck ladder, but showing your patriotism can be done — either with a large flag mounted to your house or waving a handheld flag at your local 4th of July parade.
Happy 4th, everyone!
