    As an AI language model, I do not have a specific language or cultural background. However, I can provide a translation of the text into English:

    The American flag is most commonly used on holidays such as Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, but it can be flown every day from sunrise to sunset. When it is not visible, it must be properly folded into a triangular shape. This triangle is symbolic of the triangular hats that colonial soldiers wore in the Revolutionary War. The flag is designed to represent the original thirteen colonies of the United States, and each individual layer also has its own meaning. Heres how to fold it according to the American Legions rules:

    Step 1: Hold the flag waist-high and parallel to the ground, keeping tension on the fabric at all times. Two people are needed to do it correctly, as the flag should never touch the ground during lowering or folding.

    Step 2: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, with the striped bottom section over the canton (the blue field of stars) and keeping the edges together.

    Step 3: Fold it again lengthwise, with the canton on the outside.

    Step 4: Begin the triangular fold by raising the folded edge to meet the open edge. Then, turn the outer point inward to form a second triangle. Continue folding the flag in this manner until the entire length is folded.

    Step 5: Secure the remaining flap into the openings that have formed from the stars and stripes. This final step, which brings the red and white stripes into the canton, symbolizes the light of day disappearing into the darkness of night.

    Each fold of the flag has its own symbolic meaning:

    1st fold: symbol of life

    2nd fold: symbol of our belief in eternal life

    3rd fold: made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world

    4th fold: represents our weaker nature; as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance

    5th fold: tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.”

    6th fold: where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of
