There are a lot of things you are not supposed to do with the American Flag that is abused every day.

Did you eat off of an American Flag plate or have a Flag napkins during your party on the 4th of July this year? Do you have a flag on your school backpack or team shirt by any chance?

If so, you are in violation of the flag ettiquette.

And yes, it is etiquette and not law.

Are there penalties for violating the Flag Code?
No. The Flag Code is intended as a guide to be followed on a purely voluntary basis to insure proper respect for the flag.
