United States Flag Code

History
Prior to Flag Day, June 14, 1923, the federal or state had no regulations governing the display of the United States' Flag. On June 14, 1923 the National Flag Code (U.S Flag Code) was constructed by representatives of the Army, Navy, and other groups. On December 22, 1942 the Flag Code became Public Law 829; Chapter 806, 77th Congress, 2nd session. Little had changed within the code since the Flag Day 1924 Conference.
