The 12 Rules of American Flag Etiquette

by Alexandra Churchill You might be

surprised to learn that prior to Flag Day in 1923, there were no official guidelines on how to display our star-spangled banners. It was on this day that the National Flag Code was drafted by representatives of the Army and Navy under the auspices of the National Americanism Commission of the American Legion. It was printed and given nationwide distribution. Years passed. Then, on June 22, 1942, Congress passed a joint resolution (later amended on December 22, 1942) that dictated what is known today as the U.S. Flag Code.

In the code, there are several sections on how to display the flag, how to maintain and handle the flag, and as well as general respect. Perhaps the most important one dictates how citizens should behave around the stars and stripes, as it is the emblem of our identity as a sovereign nation. Therefore, citizens are asked to stand at attention and salute when their flag is passing in a parade or being hoisted or lowered.

We're reminded of this when the flag is flown proudly everywhere: Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Election Day, and Flag Day itself. Of course, not all patriotic celebrations are created equal. Here are the do's and don'ts as outlined in the U.S. Flag Code to make sure your tribute is a respectful one:

1. Display the flag only between sunrise and sunset on buildings and stationary staffs. The flag may be displayed for twenty- four hours if illuminated in darkness.

2. Do not display the flag in inclement weather.

3. Whether displaying the flag vertically or horizontally, make sure the canton of stars is visible on the upper lefthand side.

4. Do not let the flag touch the ground.

5. The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.

6. Before flying a flag at half- staff, hoist to its peak for an instant before lowering it.

7. When displayed against a wall with another flag, their staffs crossed, the American flag should be on the right of the other flag (on the viewer's left), with its staff on top of that of the other flag.

8. When flags of states, cities, or localities are flown on the same halyard with the United States flag, the national flag should always be at the top. No other flag should be placed above, or if on the same level, to the flag's right.

9. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they should be flown from separate staffs of equal height. The flags should be of approximately equal size.

10. When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle, the canton should be placed at the peak of the staff.

11. An unusable flag that is damaged and worn and can no longer be displayed should be destroyed in a dignified way by burning.

12. When not on display, the flag should be respectfully folded into a triangle, symbolizing the tricorne hats worn by colonial soldiers in the Revolutionary War.

Please make sure that the flag displayed on your property in Woodbridge follows these guidelines! <> <> <> Thanks!

Have a neighbor watch your house while you’re gone on vacation! Watch out for each other, and even if you are inside most of the time, install bright porch lights, lock your house and car doors. Summer is here, but thieves won’t take a holiday! Don’t answer your door after dark unless you know who it is… have your visitors text you when they arrive.

Bruce Klein says: “We are in contact with the local Police Department, and they want me to continue to stress that our residents MUST call in anything suspicious.”

Eric Spitznagel, AARP, May 2025

We’re going to be experiencing some exceptionally hot weather this summer, according to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center . In May it predicted above- normal temperatures for the entire U.S. That’s bad news for everyone, especially older adults… and it’s not just about feeling uncomfortable. Older adults are more likely to experience organ damage, a heart atta ck or stroke, or even die from extreme heat. And because of climate change, the temperatures are only going to get worse, with the population of older adults globally at risk from chronic extreme heat growing by more than 200 million by 2050, according to a 2024 study published in Nature Communications Stick to plain water

Although there are plenty of fancy “designer hydration” drinks on the market, your best bet for staying properly hydrated is good old-fashioned H2O. “It’s still the gold standard for maintaining good health,

especially as we age,” says Violeta Morris, a registered dietitian nutritionist. If you expect to be outside in the heat for long periods of time or exerting a lot of energy, you could consider an electrolyte-enhanced beverage like Gatorade, Bodyarmor, Vitaminwater or other similar brands. But a lot of those commercial sports drinks are loaded with sugar and sodium, which won’t do your waistline, blood pressure or blood sugar levels any favors A healthier option is to add a splash of fruit juice, a few slices of strawberry, or a few slices of strawberry, orange or cucumber, to your water,” says Melinda Steele, M.D., a double board-certified family medicine and lifestyle medicine physician. It’ll boost the electrolytes and pump up the flavor without additives. Set a hydration reminder

In extreme heat situations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ((CDC) recommends drinking

an 8-ounce cup of water every 15 to 30 minutes. That’s easier said than done, so Morris recommends setting a “drink water” reminder on your phone. Plenty of free apps that will do just that, including Waterllama, WaterMinder and Aqualert. Al that extra drinking means extra bathroom visits, of course. “It’s common for older adults to limit fluids while out and about to avoid frequent trips to the bathroom,” says Steele. She recommends

scheduling restroom breaks so you can continue prioritizing hydration. Avoid direct sunlight Retreating from the sun’s rays isn’t just about protecting your skin, although it’s definitely part of it. Less exposure to UV radiation helps reduce the risk of heat stress and skin cancer, making shade a key element in any heat-management strategy. If you’re going to be outside for long periods of time, use a sun-blocking umbrella.

The benefit of shade is that it reduces your direct exposure to solar radiation, which in turn lowers your body’s heat gain. Direct sunlight will always feel warmer, by anywhere from to 10º to 15º. By standing in the shade, you ’re experiencing the actual air temperature.

“There will still be some minor differences because you might be standing over a really hot surface, which increases your heat load through longwave radiation,” says Middel. "But that impact is minor compared to the heat from the sun.”

Douse yourself in cold water

An icy cold shower or bath may not sound appealing, even if you’re uncomfortably hot, but it’s the best way to reduce your core body temperature quickly and safely.

Make a cucumber salad

Many fruits and vegetables aren’t just good for heart and brain health… they’re also extremely hydrating. “Cucumbers and iceberg lettuce contain about 96% water, followed by zucchini and tomatoes at 94%, celery at %, watermelon at 92%, strawberries at 91%, and plain Greek yogurt around 85%, says Morris. You can ’t go wrong with a cucumber salad, not only for its hydrating properties but also because cucumbers are in calories… 8 cal. per cup (52-gram) serving… compared to water-rich veggies.

“Plain old cold water is still the most effective cooling method that’s ever been studied on Planet Earth,” says Douglas J. Casa, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Connecticut. He’s seen patients suffering from heatstroke experience a dramatic drop in their internal temperature… from 109ºF to 103º F… after less than 20 minutes of soaking in cold water.

How cold, exactly? The Korey Stringer Institute at University of Connecticut, recommends between 35º and 59º. It doesn’t have to be a big production. Even something as simple as soaking your feet in cold water can help you feel cooler. If you have been working outside all day in the garden, use the hose to cover your head and back in cold water.

Set your ceiling fan blades in the right direction

A ceiling fan won’t do much to cool you down if the fan blades aren’t set to create a downdraft. “Your ceiling fan should turn counterclockwise, says Bonnie Schneider, a New York–based meteorologist and author of Taking the Heat: How Climate Change Is Affecting Your Mind, Body, and Spirit and What You Can Do About It. “That direction pushes air down and creates a breeze.” But that downward flow of air isn’t actually cooling the room, it’s just helping to your skin, which makes you feel more comfortable. The temperature may not change significantly, but your body will believe it’s up to 4º cooler.

Sleep with your socks on When you wear socks to bed, your core body temperature rises, causing blood vessels to dilate to disperse heat and cool your body down.

Studies have shown that extreme heat can make getting a good night’s sleep almost impossible A majority of adults (57%) claim that they’re too hot to sleep sat least occasionally, according to a 2023 Gallup Poll. Your instinct may be to wear as little as possible in bed during such nights. But you should definitely leave your socks on. No, seriously.

Once again, it’ s all about vasodilation.” When we wear socks, our core body temperature rises,” says Indira Gurubhagavatula, M.D., a professor of medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. “Blood vessels near the skin surface then dilate to disperse heat and cool the body down. The falling core body temperature serves as a signal to the brain to initiate sleep.

Color-coordinate for the heat

Wearing white or light-colored clothing on hot days reflects more sunlight than darkcolored clothing, keeping you cooler. Wearing white or light-colored clothing on hot days isn’t just a fashion statement. An informal study measuring how much heat was absorbed by five different colored shirts… white, blue, maroon, light gray, and dark gray… during a heat index of 104 º The dark gray and maroon shirts topped 150º within the first hour: nearly 50 º warmer than the white shirt, and more than during a heat index of 104 º The dark gray and maroon shirts topped 150º within the first hour: nearly 50 º warmer than the white shirt, and more than 20º warmer than the blue shirt. <><><>

July is UV Safety Month

Find the right shades to protect your eyes

Sunglasses aren't just a fashion statement -- they prevent eye strain, improve vision in bright light, block ultraviolet rays, and help protect the fragile skin around the eyes from skin cancer. They also shield your eyes from floating debris like dust, pollen, and insects. Whether you're scrounging a convenience store rack or browsing in a high-end department store for your next pair of shades, here's what to look for:

propriate for very bright conditions.

*Check the labeling to ensure that the lenses fully block UV rays. The tag may say it offers 100 percent UV protection, UV absorption up to 400nm, or UV400 protection. If the glasses aren't labeled with the protection level, choose something else.

*Choose lenses that block enough (but not too much) light. The amount of light that filters through sunglasses is called visible light transmission, or VLT. Sunglasses with 20 to 40 percent VLT are good for all-purpose use, but lower than 20 percent may only be ap-

*Check the label to see if the lenses are polarized. This anti-glare coating can reduce eyestrain and make objects appear clearer in bright light, which makes it especially useful for outdoor activities. But polarized objects can also make it difficult to see some screens and car dashboard controls, so they may not be the best choice in every instance. Both polarized and non-polarized lenses can be equally effective at blocking UV rays, so it's good to have both options on hand.

*Look for larger lenses that provide more coverage. Wraparound sunglasses are also a good choice and can block UV light along your temples.

* If you wear glasses, consider investing in a pair of sunglasses with prescription lenses or buy sunglasses that are designed to fit over your regular glasses. Make sure that your prescription sunglasses or over-the-glasses sunglasses provide appropriate UV protection. *

Shingles vaccine may stave off dementia

If you needed another compelling reason to get a shingles vaccine, look no further: The two-dose series of shots may also help prevent or delay dementia.

A new study published in April in the journal JAMA examined data from the health records of about 280,000 older adults across Australia, comparing a group of individuals who received a free shingles vaccine with another group that was slightly too old to qualify for the free vaccine program. Researchers found that over a period of 7.4 years, the vaccinated group was about 20 percent less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than the unvaccinated group, showing correlation but not causation.

According to the New York Times, it's the most compelling evidence to date that the shingles vaccine may reduce

dementia risk. While researchers have noted the link between the shingles vaccine and dementia in previous studies, they also had to account for healthier lifestyles and other characteristics that are known to lower dementia risk.

Researchers theorize that the shingles vaccine prevents the neuroinflammation that occurs when the varicellazoster virus, which causes both chicken pox and shingles, reactivates after decades of dormancy. The vaccine may also deliver a protective effect when it activates the immune system.

But even without the anti-dementia benefits, the shingles vaccine is a good choice for most older adults. Shingles rashes can be excruciatingly painful and if left untreated, can cause complications like postherpetic neuralgia, or intense nerve pain, or permanent eye damage. *

Health in the News

USDA moves to stop cattle parasite

The United States Department of Agriculture halted halted imports of live cattle, horses, and bison through the Mexican border after New World screwworm was detected at Mexican farms. According to CNN, the burrowing parasite can cause infections and death in affected animals, and can devastate herds and spread to humans. The USDA says that it will reevaluate the import ban on a monthly basis.

Energy drink ingredient linked to cancer

New research shows that taurine, a common additive in energy drinks and naturally found in meats, fish, and eggs, is associated with increased risk of blood cancers. According to Fox News, leukemia cells can absorb taurine, which can promote further spread of the disease. Researchers say that methods to block taurine absorption in cancer cells may improve treatment outcomes for leukemia patients.

Hearing loss increases dementia risk

People with confirmed hearing loss are 32 percent more likely to develop dementia, say researchers from multiple universities in a new collaborative study. According to WTOP News, hearing loss overworks the brain, which diminishes key brain structures over time. The researchers say that early diagnosis and treatment is key to lowering dementia risk.
