Welcome to American Flag Etiquette

I am not old enough to remember the attack on Pearl Harbor or the cause of the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam Conflict. Those where the wars of my grandparents and parents. I do however remember 9/11, and after 9/11 we all flew our flags. We where all proud to be Americans and we showed it. Today it is not as common to see flags displayed.

Last summer I was on a trip and I discovered a place where it was actually common to see a flag flown, about 60% of the people in this community displayed a flag, and it was not a holiday. However as I looked closer at what I saw I realized something most disheartening. Over 1/3 of the flags shown where improperly displayed!

This I found to be a horrible situation, and as a result I created this site. Here you can find how to properly display the U.S. Flag, its history. But the site has grown since, and it now includes information on the Pledge of Allegiance and Great Speeches.
