Wearing the Flag
Wearing the Flag
A flag patch may be attached to such uniforms as those of athletes, fire fighters, police officers, and members of patriotic organizations. The national flag should not be used as a costume or athletic uniform.
Flag lapel pins should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
Reproductions of the national flag in any medium such as jewelry, pins, buttons, or printed materials must show the union (blue field) on the top and to the observer's left when facing the flag.
