American flags and Pole

The fundamental rule of flag etiquette is: treat the Stars and Stripes with respect and common sense.

The flag is flown at full-staff to indicate joy — the joy of being American. It is flown at half-staff to indicate mourning. In either case, it should always be aloft and free. It should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously. When raising the flag to half-staff, raise it to the top of the flagpole for a moment before lowering it. When taking it down for the night, raise it to the top of the flagpole again and then lower it to the bottom.

The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing, nor should it ever be displayed with the union down except as a signal of dire distress. When lowered, it should be received by waiting hands and arms, and should not touch the ground.

The flag should be flown daily from sunrise to sunset in good weather from public buildings, schools, permanent staffs in the open, and near polling places on election days. An all-weather flag may also be flown in bad weather. When a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during the hours of darkness.

He is a war veteran and it really moved him to see it when he received it. Purchasing a flag from this website was the easiest thing I ever had to do in my life. It was a snap. All I had to do was choose the flag that would make my father the happiest, proceed to checkout to purchase it, and then wait a few days for shipping. That was it.

This shipping price was much lower than sales tax would have been if I bought it at a regular store, and even the price of the flags are low. I really enjoyed the assortment of pins that they have for sale. They are at such a low price, but look so nice. It is excellent to receive quality and a low price at the same time.
