Flag etiquette

As others feel free to burn our flag on foreign soil, for those of us who revere what our flag represents, I offer a bit of flag decorum. Thought it might be helpful as we approach our day of independence.

The flag should not be emblazoned on items such as lawn chairs, paper products,
yard goods and furniture. (U.S. Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8) “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 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 discard. 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 costume or athletic uniform.
However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel,
firemen, policemen, 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.
