| This Crisply Folded Flag |
| of the American Legion. We are involved with many projects within our community and we support numerous projects nationally. We are all proud of our country and our flag for which it stands. All members of The American Legion once served this great nation in times of war. Some are still serving today. Our members represent all branches of our mighty military force. We as individuals served in different capacities -- some as grunts and some as officers. In the legion there is no rank in our membership. With all of us having different opinions, religions and political beliefs, we come together for a common bond, supporting patriotism, our community, state and nation and protecting our flag and the American Way of Life. Our Post's early history tells us to be thankful for the Forty & Eight and their help in starting this Post. Although there are but a few members in our Post today, the Forty & Eight is an independent fraternal organization of U. S. Veterans formed in 1920 by American Legionnaires as an honor society. 40/8 membership is by invitation only for members of the American Legion who have shown exemplary service. jb-January 2006 |
| Folding the Flag a) Straighten out the flag to full length and fold lengthwise once. (b) Fold it lengthwise a second time to meet the open edge, making sure that the union of stars on the blue field remains outward in full view. (A large flag may have to be folded lengthwise a third time.) (c) A triangular fold is then started by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to the open edge. (d) The outer point is then turned inward parallel with the open edge to form a second triangle. (e) The diagonal or triangular folding is continued toward the blue union until the end is reached, with only the blue showing and the form being that of a cocked (three corner) hat. |
