Flag Flying Dates
It is permissible to fly the American Flag any and every day of the year, but we especially recommend that all Americans fly the flag on special holidays and historically significant dates.
The flag is a symbol of U.S. freedom, the very foundation of which our country was built. This foundation is strengthened by the servicemen and women currently deployed oversees and those defending our shores, and by the thousands who have given their lives to defend the liberties we enjoy.
