Representation of Honor to the Flag

Posted July 27th, 2011 by admin

The United States flag is the symbol of our nation. The union, white stars on a blue background, is the point of honor of the flag. The union of the flag and the flag itself, when in company with other flags, is always given the honor position, which is right. The rules for displaying the flag are in AR 840-10, Heraldic Activities-Flags, Scripts, Streamers, Tabards, and plates of cars and airplanes. Some rules for displaying the flag are:

* All Army installations will display the U.S. flag outdoors.
* Continental U.S. (CONUS) Army installations will fly only one flag of the United States at a time without permission of the commanding generals of major Army commands.
* Installations will display the flag daily from reveille retired.
* When a number of flags displayed by staff based on a line, the flag of the United States is on the right, left of the observer facing the screen. If no foreign national flags are present, the flag of the United States may be placed in the center of the line always displayed in a higher level.
* When the U.S. flag is displayed with state flags, state flags all be of comparable size.

When the flag is rising in the morning, you should stand at attention in the first note of “Diana” and say hello. In the evening “Retreat” is played before “the colors.” (“Colors” refer to the flag of the United States and may also include the banner of unity). When you hear the first note of “Retreat” come to the position of attention and face the flag (or the direction of the music comes from if the flag is not visible). They do the handshake on the first note of “colors.” Typically, up to salute the flag, unless it requires facing in another direction. At the conclusion of the music, resume their normal duties. If you are involved in a task that would be hampered by greeting is not necessary to say hello.

When in a formation or group, this tall soldier is called the group “care” and “Parade, Rest” at the first note of “Retreat.” That soldier is called group of “care” and “Present Arms” at the first note of “To the Colors” and “Order, Arms” at conclusion. When in civilian clothes, the only change is to place the right hand over your heart instead of saluting. Moving vehicles should stop. If you are in a car or motorcycle, dismount and salute. If you’re with a group on a military vehicle or bus, remain in the vehicle. The person in charge dismount and salute. These honors also apply to the national anthems of foreign countries during ceremonies or parades.

When you are going through or are going through the colors are presented, paraded, or displayed, salute when the colors are six steps you. Hold the salute until the colors are six paces beyond you.

The Pledge of Allegiance is not recited in military formations or in military ceremonies. In other functions when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, a soldier in uniform silently stands at attention facing the flag and make the handshake, if outdoors. Inside a soldier in uniform silently stands at attention facing the flag. Where the other participants are primarily civilians or in civilian clothes, soldiers in uniform in the interior can recite the pledge if they wish. A soldier in civilian clothes, while reciting the oath at attention, facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Male soldiers should remove his hat with his right hand and hold it over the left shoulder so the right hand over the heart.
