Flag Etiquette

[Sgtleo]

 

Here's another one to remember - when folding the flag at Retreat;-

 

After it was folded they'd say this;-

 

I see Blue good for you!

 

I see Red you'll wish you were dead!

 

OOPS I forgot to add this so you'd know why the two lines above!!

 

Flag Folding from The Sons of the American Revolution

 

A properly proportioned flag will fold 13 times on the triangles, representing the 13 Original Colonies. When finally complete the triangular folded flag is emblematical of the tri-corner hat worn by the Patriots of the American Revolution.

When folded no red or white stripe is to be evident leaving only the honor field of blue and stars.
