There's no better way to celebrate America's independence this July 4th than to proudly display the stars and stripes in front of your home. A symbol of freedom and liberty, flying the US flag is a way for Americans to mark the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. But if you're planning on displaying Old Glory, there are some rules worth knowing.
American Public Law contains the Federal Flag Code, which lists rules and guidance on how to handle and display the US flag. There are strict instructions on directions and height to hang your flag, as well as traditional ways to show your respect.
