My name is Kenneth Grover. I belong to an organization known as the Sons of the American Revolution. All of the members of this group can trace their family trees back to at least one person who served during the American Revolutionary War in the 1770's and 1780's. My grandfather's grandfather's father, Azariah Davis, was a member of the New Jersey militia during the Revolutionary War. Our current national flag still has thirteen stripes but it now has fifty stars.
Many people like to display the flag, but some are being flown or displayed incorrectly.
The flag is a symbol of the basic principles of the United States, so we should show respect for it at all times. It upsets me to see the flag that so many people have fought for being disrespected. The American flag code was made into law in 1942 and is today a part of the Laws of the United States, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sections 171 through 178. It is updated periodically. Using the Flag Code, I prepared a quiz to see if you understand the proper display of our nation's flag.
