waving flag
Previous to Flag Day, June 14, 1923 there were no federal or state regulations governing display of the United States Flag. It was on this date that the National Flag Code was adopted by the National Flag Conference which was attended by representatives of the Army and Navy which had evolved their own procedures, and some 66 other national groups. This purpose of providing guidance based on the Army and Navy procedures relating to display and associated questions about the U. S. Flag was adopted by all organizations in attendance.
I used this site for a reference:
Opinion on why the Flag Code was put in:
I personally think that the flag code was put in because I believe they wanted to protect the flag from any disrespect. For example – They wanted to keep the flag protected from what is going on now. I don’t blame the people for doing this. I blame President Donald J. Trump for starting this uprise in disrespect because he insulted the NFL which is why the flag code is being broken. Therefore, I will do #TakingAKnee.
(Plz don’t hate for that)
