“As we pray and wait for our troops currently serving in Afghanistan, Iraq and across the globe to come home, we at United Spinal believe that now more than ever that there is no better way to demonstrate our support to them than to display our colors,” said President and CEO Paul Tobin. “When one views the flag, one thinks of liberty, freedom, and pride. The flag is the embodiment of America.”
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.
Single copies of How To Display Our Flag can be downloaded at no charge by visiting www.unitedspinal.org and clicking on “Publications and Resources.” Bulk copies may be ordered by calling United Spinal’s publications request line at 800-444-0120.
United Spinal Association was founded in the New York City metropolitan area 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 organization provides expertise, creates access to resources and strengthens hope, thereby enabling people with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D) to fulfill their potential as active members of their communities. 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).
