3432 - US flag

With all the hubbub about the flag recently and this being 9-11 I thought I would refer everyone back to an old post about the US flag. Post 1178. Everyone needs a flag refresher every once in awhile. As do I.

I thought I'd better check out the links on my old post to see if they still work. Of course they don't. So don't click on the title 4 link in post 1178. Come back here to this TITLE 4 link. Hopefully this will be good for a couple of days.

Anyway, if you don't want to go back through old posts and links here's a quick summation.

Title 4 of the Federal government lays out the flag specifications; size etc; only for the Federal government. The states decide what the US flag will look like in a particular state. But in most states, including mine, Missouri, the state code just refers back to the Federal code. So the Missouri USA flag is a Federal Title 4 flag.

Here are the 11 official Title 4 flag sizes:
