From the heights of sunny summer to the snowy depths of winter, old glory proudly waves- thanks to laws and traditions that encourage respect for our vital national symbol. Guidelines for the display and treatment of the american flag hark back to the national flag code adopted in 1923 at the national flag conference and amended a year later. A federal law in 1942 further provided specific rules for using and displaying the flag.
