OTHER FISCS;
Here are some facts about the
American flag which everyone should I
know. They are taken from a little |
pamphlet entitled “The United States'
Flag; Its History, Symbolism and|
Regulations for display,” compiled by
Philip R. Dillon from the official'
regulations of the war and navy de
partments and from the most authori
tative historical sources,! and pub
lished by the American Penman:
The Salute or Pledge to the Flag
l pledge allegiance to my flag
And to the republic for which it
stands,
One nation—indivisible—
With liberty and justice for all.
Ancestry of the American Flag
The present American flag is de
scended from the English gunner
known as St. George’s Cross, a rec-j
tangular red cross upon a white
field; it was a very old flag, adopted
at the itme of the first crusade,
about the year 1096 A. I). The cross
of St. Andrews, the Scotch ensign,
a diagonal white cross upon a blue
field, was also adopted in those |
early days.
In 1707, when complete union of
England, Scotland and Wales was
established, Great Britain adopted
the “Meteor Flag,” a red ensign
with the two crosses in the canton—|
the canton being the top quarter next j
the staff. It quickly became the cus
tom to call the crosses “the jack’”
and the “union jack.”
On January 2, 1776, Washington:
raised at Cambridge, Mass., the flag!
emblematic of the union of the col
onies. It had seven red and white j
stripes, and in the canton were the
crosses of St. George and St. An
drew on a blue field. It continued
the oficial flag of the Revolution un
til congress adopted the Stars and
Stripes on June 4, 1777.
Finally, on March 4, 1818, congress
enacted the law which fixed the
form of the flag for all time.
Dimensions of the Flag
War department regulations:
The garrison flag has 38 feet fly!
and 20 feet hoist.
The post flag has 19 feet fly and:
10 feet hoist.
The storm flag has 9 feet 6 inches
fly and 5 feet hoist.
Navy department regulations:
The flag shall be 1.9 of the hoist.
The hoist of the uion shall be 7.13
of the hoist of the flag.
The flag of the union shall be 1.13j
of the hoist of the flag.
The width of each stripe shall be
1-13 of the hoist of the flag.
When the Flag Is Flown
At all army posts in time of peace
the flag is raised at “reveille” and is
lowered at “retreat.” Theoretically,
it flies from sunrise to sunset, but,
actually, in summer reveille is sound
ed after sunrise and in winter it may
be sounded before sunrise.
In the navy the flag is raised at
8 a. m. and lowered at sundown.
The flag is not lowered at sun
down when battle is raging, for to
lower it at such times would mani
festly be a signal of surrender.
No law compels civilians to lower
the flag at sundown; but good taste:
should impel every citizen to follow,'
so far as practicable, the traditions
of the army and navy in the sundown
ceremonial.
It is a tradition in both army and
navy, that the flag, when lowered,
must not touch the earth in camp
or garrison, nor the roof of bar
racks or armory, nor the deck of a
ship. The assistants to the sergeant
or quartermaster receives the folds in
his arms as the flag comes down, and
thus tenderly fold it and carry it to
its resting place for the night. Thej
flag should not be used to cover the
top of a table, and no object should
rest upon it. The Bible has long been
excepted from this rule.
It may be used to covor a casket of
the dead. In this use, the union shall
be at the head.
Old custom in the army and navy
ordains that it shall never be washed.
Theoretically it is always pure and
clean. When q flag is torn or frayed
out by the wind it is never again
hoisted until it has been repaired.
Flags rent and torn in battle are not
repaired, but are kept in their proud
lacerations as precious relics.
To throw an old flag into the rag
bag or use it for any menial pur
pose is a crying insult. When the
ensign has become so worn by wind
and weather that it cannot be re
paired, or has euffered some irrepar
able accident, assemble with dignity
around the remains and with fitting
ceremony consign them to the flames.
