Always keep flag aloft and free -- never carry it flat or horizontally.
Always keep flag clean and safe -- never let it become torn, soiled or damaged.
Did you know: U.S. flag was adopted on June 14, 1777, and is fourth oldest national flag in world.

It is soldier, not poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is soldier, not campus organizer, who has given us freedom to demonstrate.
It is soldier, not lawyer, who has given us right to a fair trial.
It is soldier, who salutes flag, who serves under flag, and whose coffin is draped by flag, who allows protester to disrespect flag.
