American Flag

When can I fly the American Flag?
You can fly the American Flag with respect any time as far as I'm concerned, but here's a few special days



These are flag display days.and the country urges you to display the American Flag on those days.  As a not so subtle reminder,  you don't have to fly the flag on these or any day.  There are no Flag Police who will fine, arrect, jail, beat the shit out of you for not flying the flag.  That's freedom in action.
