How to Display
Traditional guidelines call for displaying the flag in public only from sunrise to sunset. However,
the flag may be displayed at all times if it’s illuminated during darkness.
The flag should not be subject to weather damage, so it should not be displayed during rain, snow and wind storms unless it is an all-weather flag.
It should be displayed often, but especially on national and state holidays and special
occasions.

How to Fold an American Flag
Keep your flag completely dry and folded properly - into a triangle, with the union section visible - before storing it in a well-ventilated area. If the flag is damaged, it should be disposed of with dignity. The flag should not touch anything below it or rest on the ground.
