Flag Etiquette Ends Nighttime Flag Limits Across Lands
The United States Flag Association urges flying the flag at night with respect, noting it is the owner’s choice since the flag is not government property. It recalls the flag’s historical growth from 13 stars to a larger design and recounts a War of 1812 skirmish at Sackett’s Harbor ending after a cannon ball affair.
