Most
people are aware that the American flag should never be allowed to
touch the ground, however some rules are much more obscure. In fact some
of the restrictions are violated on a daily basis by well meaning
citizens. Because American flag rules are meant as a guideline an
individual cannot be fined or punished by violating them. No doubt the
majority of us want to abide by the American Flag Code & the rules
it sets forth.
