It is rare to go more than a few miles in a densely populated community without seeing a flag. Flags are symbols that can be flown proudly from a car, your roof or the top floor of an establishment. It draws attention and shows allegiance to your home, your company or your country. At the Olympics, each country will have its flag raised whenever a competitor from that country wins a medal.
Citizens of the United States love to fly the American flag whenever they can. Flags tend to be flown the most during any holiday dedicated to the troops or Independence Day. States will fly flags adorned with the state crest on government buildings to display their unique identity.
When a person dies, a flag is flown at half staff. This means that the flag is lifted halfway up the flagpole instead of all the way up. The flag itself may be put in a position where it will not sway in the breeze at it would during a typical day.
