How to Display the American Flag
Here are few basic guidelines to keep in mind based on the U.S. Flag Code:
• Always make sure the flag never touches the ground or anything below it.
• Do not display the American flag in inclement weather, unless it’s an all-weather flag.
• If you want to fly the flag after sunset, keep it well lit.
• When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the Union (blue section) should be uppermost and to the flag’s own
right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be displayed in the same way, with the Union to the
left of the observer’s view.
• No other flag or pennant should be placed above, or, if on the same level, to the right of the American flag.
Wondering what you should you do when your flag becomes worn and no longer suited for public display? The U.S. flag code requires it to
be disposed of respectfully, preferably by burning. Many local VFW posts and American Legions hold ceremonies to retire flags.
Saukville Legion Post 470 has a drop box outside the Legion hall to drop your flags for proper disposal. Contact them at 262-284-
2787 with questions.
