How to Display our Flag - Pamphlet Available
May is National Military Appreciation Month and United Spinal Association, a national veteran’s service organization, reminds Americans that they can honor the members of our armed forces this month and always by flying the American flag. To do so properly, the organization has produced a pamphlet entitled How to Display Our Flag. Single copies of this pamphlet are available free of charge on line or by calling 800-444-0120.
“United Spinal encourages Americans to show support year-round for our troops by displaying our flag appropriately,” said Executive Director and veteran Gerard Kelly. “When one views the flag, one thinks of liberty, freedom, and pride. The flag is how America signs her name.”
How To Display Our Flag explains the proper etiquette for showing the American flag and contains a list of days when the flag is traditionally displayed, such as Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and many others. This informative pamphlet also provides instruction on how the flag should be displayed on a variety of specific occasions such as parades, or public functions.
The United Spinal Association was founded in 1946 by returning World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries who joined together and dedicated themselves to building meaningful and productive lives for all individuals with disabilities. Today, 60 years later, the national veteran’s service and disability rights organization continues to empower not just our brave veterans but all Americans with spinal cord injury or disorders (SCI/D) through their dedicated services and programs. The Association has contributed millions of dollars over the years to finding a cure for SCI/D and provides significant annual funding to the Spinal Cord Damage Research Center at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, Bronx, NY (named after the Association’s late executive director). Last year, through United Spinal’s lobbying efforts, legislation was passed in record time that provided traumatic injury insurance for our soldiers returning from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Support of United Spinal Association’s services and programs is appreciated.
