Episode Details

With the Fourth of July just around the corner, you’re gonna see flags everywhere — but did you know there’s a whole official U.S. National Flag Code? Passed in 1942, it’s packed with rules to show proper respect: fly it from sunrise to sunset (or lit at night), avoid bad weather unless the flag’s designed for it, and always display it on holidays and key locations like schools and polling places. In parades, it must lead or be on the right; on vehicles, it can’t be draped — it needs to hang free. When paired with other flags, the Stars and Stripes always tops or centers — except in rare church services at sea. When mounted flat, stars face north or east; when flying from a pole, the blue union goes to the top. It’s not just tradition — it’s about honoring the nation’s symbol.
