2.             United States Flag, Standard Fold: How to fold the flag

A.  Flags folded by Honor Guards or others, in the standard triangular fold are never folded exactly the same.  This is because of differences in fabric density in the flags, the weather, the time of day, etc.  Also, no two honor guard details will ever fold the flag exactly the same.  Consequently, folded flags can be bulky in the middle, loose on the outer edges, or folded too tightly.

                B.  Inserting Standard Fold Flag in a Flag Case:

                        (1)  Place the Flag Case on a table with the glass side down.

                        (2)  Remove the screws from the back of the flag case.

                        (3)  Place the Folded Flag with the field of stars face
                             down in the Case.

(4)  Insure the Folded Flag is spread equally within the Flag Case.  Loosen edges and/or decrease bulk in the middle of the Flag to enhance the fit.

                        (5)  Replace the back and tighten screws.

3.             United States Flag, False Fold:

A.  A FALSE FOLDED FLAG enables you to see a perfect star pattern through the front of the glass.  The 3ft x 5ft flag, when false folded and placed in the small Ceremonial Flag Case will show six (6) stars.  The 3ft x 5ft flag, when false folded and placed in the large Burial Flag Case, will show eighteen (18) stars.  The 4ft x 6ft flag, when false folded and placed in a large Burial Flag Case, will show approximately 10 stars.  The 5ft x 8ft and the 5ft x 9-1/2 ft. flags when false folded will show six (6) stars.

(1)  Cut a piece of matte board or cardboard in a triangle approximately 1/8^th  inch smaller than the inside cavity of the flag case.

(2)  Slide the matte board under the flag to the center of the star pattern.  Align the peak of the triangle approximately ¾ inch above the top point of a star.

(3)   Make sure the bottom of the triangle matte board is level with the stars on the bottom row.

(4)  Turn the flag with the matte board over and place it in the cavity of the flag case.  Fold the remainder of the flag into the flag case, replace the back, and reinsert the screws.

4.             Hanging The Flag Case on a Wall:

A.      Back the top two screws out two or three turns.

B.      Loop wire around the two screws, leaving some slack in the wire.

C.      Tighten the two screws and hang the Flag Case.
