The United States flag represents a living country and is treated with dignity while artistically decorating a shop window in Pennsylvania.
This is a photograph of the original room of the United States Congress in Philadelphia. This is where the decision was made to adopt the official flag of the United States of America. There is an artistic sun carved into the back of the chair seen at the top of the photograph. When the United States achieved independence, Benjamin Franklin exclaimed, "It is a rising sun".Getting ready to display your flag during a patriotic holiday? The rules on handling the flag are based on the concept that the flag represents a living country, people have died to defend its principles, and it should be handled appropriately.
