Remember to fly your flag on Father’s Day 2023!


In the video, the U.S. flag flying at Circle 10 Council’s Camp Wisdom, in Dallas County, Texas.

Perhaps when you were a child, you watched your father as he posted Old Glory near your front door, on holidays and other special occasions. Your father set an example that you follow today.

Remember to honor your father by posting the flag today, Fathers Day. Fathers Day is one of those dates set in the U.S. Flag Code for citizens to fly the U.S. flag.

“Litchfield, Minnesota veterans Roger Tipka, Don Nordlie and Stan Mortenson, pictured from left, raise the U.S. flag prior to the start of the third annual Tournament of Duty in 2015. The three men all served in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II.” Litchfield Independent Observer photograph.

    The White House protocol office is almost always right on flag display stuff. The U.S. flag was displayed correctly, the pride flag was not displayed disrespectfully.

    Whiners gonna whine.

    Here’s the relevant law from the U.S. Code, via Cornell’s Law Library. See for yourself: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/5

  2. Not that I want to start anything controversial, but are my authority on flag etiquette. (And I want to play nicely!) Did you see how the Pride flag was displayed at the White House last week for a Pride event there? It was draped on a balcony between two American flags. The American flag still was flying higher on a staff. Apparently there were some who were offended that the Pride flag was more prominent that the American flag. I had no problem personally with the display.

    What do you think? I read parts of the flag code to see if the display violated the code and it was rather vague.
