The National Flag represents the living country and is
            considered to be a living thing emblematic of the respect
            and pride we have for our nation. Our flag is a precious
            possession. Display it proudly.


            There are certain fundamental rules of Heraldry which,
            if understood, generally indicate the proper method of
            displaying the flag. The right arm, which is the sword arm
            and the point of danger, is the place of honor. Hence, the
            union of the flag is the place of honor or the honor point.


            The National Emblem is a symbol of our great country, our
            heritage and our place in the world. We owe reverence
            and respect to our flag. It represents the highest ideals of
            individual liberty, justice and equal opportunity for all.
