AMERICAN FLAG QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Taken from OUR AMERICAN FLAG – Compliments of State Senator Charles “Bud” Meeks.
Question: I want to display the American flag from my car. How do I do it? What about in a parade or elsewhere?
Answer: The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle, railroad train, or boat. When displayed on an automobile, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.
When carried in a procession or with another flag, our flag should be either on the marching right or in the center in front of the line of other flags. If the flag is to be displayed on a float in a parade, it must be either from a staff or against a wall or in a window.
During the unveiling of a stature or monument, the flag should be a distinctive feature of the ceremony but should never be used as a covering for the statue or monument.
Question: How do I fold my American flag?
Answer: To fold the flag ceremoniously, first fold it lengthwise, with the striped half up over the blue field. Repeat with the blue field on the outside. Beginning at the lower right, make a series of triangular folds till the flag resembles a cocked hat with only the blue field visible.
NOTE: IF ANY UNIT, LEGION, AMVET, BOY SCOUT, GIRL SCOUT, CUB SCOUT, ETC. IS COLLECTING AMERICAN FLAGS AND HOLDING A FLAG DISPOSAL CEREMONY, LET US KNOW AND WE’LL PUBLISH THE DETAILS IN THE WAYNEDALE NEWS.
