    You may be surprised to learn that there was no official guide on how to display our Stars and Stripes before Flag Day in 1923. It was on this day that the Flag Code was drafted by representatives from the Army and Navy under the auspices of the National Americanism Commission of the American Legion. It was printed and distributed nationwide. Years passed. Then, on June 22, 1942, Congress passed a joint resolution (later amended on December 22, 1942) that established what is known today as the U.S. Flag Code.

    In the code, there are several sections that describe how to display the flag, how to maintain and handle the flag, and general aspects. Perhaps one of the most important ones dictates how citizens should behave around the Stars and Stripes, as it is a symbol of our identity as a sovereign nation. Therefore, when their flag is being paraded or hoisted or lowered, citizens are required to give it immediate attention and salute.

    When the flag is everywhere, we are reminded of this: Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Election Day, and Flag Day itself. Of course, not all patriotic celebrations are created equal. Here are the practices and considerations outlined in the U.S. Flag Code to ensure that your respect is respectful:

    1. Display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and stationary staff. If illuminated at night, the flag may be displayed for twenty-four hours.

    2. Do not display the flag in bad weather.

    3. Whether displayed vertically or horizontally, make sure the square of stars is visible in the upper left corner.

    4. Do not let the flag touch the ground.

    5. The flag should be raised quickly and lowered ceremoniously.

    6. Before halftime staff hoist the flag, raise it to the peak and lower it to half-staff.

    7. When the flag is displayed with another flag against a wall, the staff of the United States should be on the right (the viewers left), and its staff should be at the top of the other flag.

    8. When the flag of a state, city, or local area is flown on the same halyard as the U.S. flag, the U.S. flag should always be at the top. No other flag should be placed
