The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs has issued Guidelines for Display of the Flag flagdisplay. Key takeaways:
𝅲𝅱𝅰🚩Never let the flag touch the ground, floor, water, or merchandise.
🚩Do not use it as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.
🚩The flag image should not be printed on any paper product for temporary use and discard.
I took an Introduction to Art class years ago. It was my first class going back to college as an older adult. I will never forget that my leftist-leaning professor placed our sign-up folder on a counter behind a flag folded on the floor in front of it. Apparently, no one in class had served in the military because we were clueless as to what to do. I knew enough not to step on the flag. At the time, I should have picked up the flag and placed anywhere but on the floor. I forget the point the professor was trying to prove (other than being disrespectful to that living symbol). I do remember the impact it had that I researched the flag rules and how to display it.
Not sure if Eyeore is violating the Flag Guidelines with his red, white, and blue rocket. The framed needlepoint I picked up at thrift and is displayed this time of year.
