November 8, 2007

Veteran's Day is Sunday. Guidelines from the Veterans of Foreign Wars for displaying the United States flag are as follows:

¢ A flag displayed on a car should be fastened to the right side bumper, antenna or to the window.

¢ If displaying a flag on a wall, the blue field should be in the upper left corner, and it should never touch the ground

¢ When displaying an all-weather flag outdoors 24 hours a day, there should be a light near it at night so it is not in complete darkness

¢ When the flag becomes worn, replace it.
