"Treat your United States flag like you would treat your Grandfather. Bring him inside when it is rainy and very windy. Give him light at night. See that he is clean and in good-shape."
This is a quote from our company Founder.   
 
 Our March winds have been tough on flags and poles also. With good luck we will be getting some much needed rain . It is always a good idea to lower your flag during storms. You can repair a small flag by trimming the fray and re-stitching a hem on the fly-end. For large flags, call us, to repair and clean your flag.
How long will my flag last?

We sell United States flags made in America.

The U.S. Flag Code
The United States Code is the official compilation of the Federal laws of a general and permanent nature that are currently in force. Each Title is divided into Sections, and then subtitles, chapters, sub-chapters, parts, sub-parts, or divisions. Titles may also have appendices which may be divided into sections, rules and/or forms.   
So it is not surprising that the US Flag Code is difficult to maneuver.

The U.S. Congress called for a clarifying interpretation of the code and in 2008 the Congressional Research Service provided the document linked here.   

US Flag Code

We use this most recent clarification on the US Flag Code dated APRIL 2008, by the Congressional Research Service,
Report for Congress
The United States Flag: Federal Law Relating to Display and Associated Questions, both Title 4 and Title 36.
    
     
Recently an article appeared about a political headquarters in Florida.   The office was flying a United States flag that had a photo of President Obama. (Fox News Article) A Veterans group complained this was defacing the American flag and there was discussion as to the legality of changing the US flag in that way. 
 The US Flag Code states that:
"The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."

The above paragraph can  be found in the US Flag Code Title 36, Chapter 10, 176(g) and in the Congressional Report on the US Flag Code, page 10(g). 
 

The Congressional Report on the US Flag Code also contains the most recent addition to the US Flag Code,  P.L. 109-243,  

"The Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005"

which addresses   

"Restrictions on Display of the Flag by 

Real Estate Associations".
