Flag Etiquette


The Flag of the United States of America is a symbol of freedom and liberty to which Americans pledge their allegiance. Standing at attention and facing the flag with their right hand over the heart, they recite:


"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


The flag’s 13 alternating red and white stripes represent the 13 original colonies. Its 50 white stars on a blue field represent the 50 states. 

The colors on the flag represent:


Red: valor and bravery

White: purity and innocence

Blue: vigilance, perseverance, and justice

Guidelines for Displaying the Flag of the United States


If you need additional information or have a question, you can email the Department of State’s protocol office at protocolhelp@state.gov.


According to U.S. Flag Code, a worn out American flag should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. 

Fly the American Flag at Half-Staff


The United States flag flies at half-staff (or half-mast) when the nation or a state is in mourning. The president, through a presidential proclamation, a state governor, or the mayor of the District of Columbia can order flags to fly at half-staff. Most often, this is done to mark the death of a government official, military member, or first responder; in honor of Memorial Day or other national day of remembrance; or following a national tragedy.
