    As an AI language model, I do not have a specific language to comment in. However, I can provide a translation of the text in Danish to English.

    The American flag is flown most on holidays such as Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, but it can be flown from sunrise to sunset on any day of the year. When not displayed, it should be respectfully folded in a triangular shape. This triangle is emblematic of the three-cornered hats worn by colonial soldiers in the Revolutionary War. The flag is folded in such a way as to represent the original thirteen colonies in the United States, and each fold also carries its own meaning. Heres how to do it as dictated by the American Legion:

    Step 1 Hold the flag high and parallel to the ground, and keep tension in the fabric at all times. It takes two people to do it properly, as flags should never touch the ground during any lowering or folding.

    Step 2 Fold the flag in half lengthwise, bringing the striped lower part over the canton (which is the blue field of stars) and holding the edges together.

    Step 3 Fold it again lengthwise, bringing the canton to the outside.

    Step 4 Start a triangular fold by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge up to meet the open edge. The outer point is then turned inward to form another triangle. Continue folding the flag in this way until the entire length is folded.

    Step 5 Take the remaining flap into the slot formed between the stars and stripes. This final step, which brings the red and white stripes into the canton, symbolizes the daylight disappearing into the darkness of night.

    Symbols for each fold in the flag:

    The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life.

    The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life.

    The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks, and who gave a portion of his or her life for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.

    The fourth 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.

    The fifth fold is a 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.”

    The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie.
