LEARNING FROM .... SHARING WITH

Following the Spring Conference, I had a publisher reach out because they had noticed that a flag was featured in one of the winning entries.  And, that flag had an image placed over it. They had been taught that this was not allowed.  So, they did some research on the subject and this is what they found in the United States Flag Code ( https://www.legion.org/flag/code )

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure,design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever.

I know we all have great reverence for our flag and would never intentionally do anything to disrespect it.  Please keep the above in mind when planning your ads and special sections.
