Today, June 14, is Flag Day, a special day to fly the US Flag.

Are you up to date on flag custom; which days are appropriate to fly your flag?  The answer is every day, but there are special days when the flag should be displayed. I have chosen the Air Force Association web site to provide more information on flag custom:

UNITED STATES CODE
