It emphasizes that the flag should never touch the ground, be used as clothing or advertising, or have any markings placed on it. The flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset, and if shown at night, it must be properly illuminated. It should occupy the position of honor when displayed with other flags and be flown at half-staff to mark national mourning. When a flag becomes too worn for display, it should be disposed of in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. While the Flag Code serves as a guide to honor national symbols, it does not carry legal penalties for violations. Flags should be mended and cleaned when needed \u2013 we clean American flags at no charge as a courtesy year round.<\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-8\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States Flag Code, found in Title 4 of the U.S. Code, outlines the proper display and respectful treatment of the American flag.
