O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! . Francis Scott Key
About This Quote

The American Flag is a symbol of our country and the freedom it provides. It is a symbol that should be treated with respect and care as it is a very important part of our national history, heritage, and identity. When we first see this flag flying in the air, we should salute it as a sign of respect for those who fight for our country to have it. We should take care not to let this flag touch the ground as it touches dirt and can take years to properly clean.

But what happens when we see this flag on its end? We should not let that flag touch the ground as well. In that case, the only way to properly display this flag is by hanging it from its end.
