Safekeeping and Care of the National Flag

• The flag must be folded with great care and stored in a flag box or other container for safekeeping. Additionally, the box or container must be stored in plain sight and be easily accessible.
• If the flag is dirtied or wrinkled, it may be washed and ironed with care so to ensure not to distort its original form.
• If the flag is damaged or worn out, it should not be discarded casually or used for other purposes; it should be burned in a discreet place.
