New Rules for US Flag Display by Military to Boost Recruitment.
This law modifies the rules governing how the US flag can be displayed during patriotic and military observances. The primary goal is to allow the military greater flexibility in using the flag, including horizontal displays, during public outreach and recruitment events. Citizens attending these events will see the flag presented in a wider variety of ways, specifically aimed at promoting military service.
Key points
The Flag Code is amended to allow the flag to be displayed in ways other than 'aloft and free' (e.g., horizontally) during respectful military or patriotic observances.
The Department of Defense must rescind previous restrictive flag display policies and support recruitment by using the flag in various positions during outreach.
The fundamental rule that the flag must never touch the ground, floor, or merchandise remains in effect.
