    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 seen on holidays such as Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day, but it can fly from sunrise to sunset on any day of the year. When not displayed, it should be folded into a triangle. This triangle symbolizes the three-cornered hat worn by colonial soldiers in the Revolutionary War. The flag is folded in this way to represent the original thirteen colonies of the United States, and each individual fold has its own meaning. Here is the method prescribed by the American Legion:

    Step 1: Hold the flag waist-high and parallel to the ground, always maintaining tension in the fabric. It takes two people to do it correctly, as the flag should not touch the ground during lowering or folding.

    Step 2: Fold the flag in half lengthwise, with the bottom stripe area on top of the field of stars (which is blue) and keeping the edges together.

    Step 3: Fold the flag in half lengthwise again, bringing the folded edge to the outside.

    Step 4: Begin the triangular folding by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge up 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: Tuck the remaining flap into the slot formed by the stars and stripes. The final step is to bring the red and white stripes into the field of blue, symbolizing the light of day disappearing into the darkness of night.

    Symbolism of each fold in the flag:

    The first fold 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 veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives 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. It is with our heart that we pledge
