Did you test your Flag Day knowledge?
Here are the answers:
1. According to the U.S. Code, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
2. No, it’s considered mutilation.
3. No, the flag must always be illuminated by light. At night, it should be illuminated with artificial light.
4. If a flag of another nation is being flown with an American flag, both flags must be on separate staffs and flown at equal heights.
