Many countries in the world have very strict flag laws over when the flag is flown, or even one flag for the government to fly, and one for the civilians. While we have The Flag Code that states the correct usage and display for all situations, we in the United States can fly the flag on a daily basis. It embodies the American freedoms; freedom of speech, religion, assembly, the press, and the sanctity of the home.
One of the most dramatic statements a business or organization can make to the public is flying a custom made flag along with the U.S. flag. It shows pride in the corporate identity and conveys information in a tasteful and effective way.
“We can imagine no more appropriate response to burning a flag than waving ones own… saluting the flag that burns. We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration. For in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents.”
