Respect for the Stars and Stripes: How to Clean Your American Flag

On July 4th, 1777, the Continental Congress passed the first Flag Act, designating the Stars and Stripes as our nation’s official symbol of strength and unity. The flag consists of thirteen stripes representing the original colonies: seven red for hardiness and valor, and six white for purity and innocence. The white stars stand for the fifty states, set against a blue background symbolizing vigilance, perseverance, and justice.
As we celebrate Independence Day, it's a perfect moment for those who proudly display the American flag outdoors to inspect it for tears, fraying, and spots. According to flag etiquette, washing a soiled flag is acceptable rather than disposing of it unless irreparably damaged.
