June 14 is Flag Day, the national holiday many Americans celebrate by displaying the Stars and Stripes in front of homes and businesses. This day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.

Here are a few tips on proper display, according to the Flag Code (USFlag.org.)

• When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window balcony or a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff.
• The flag should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement unless it’s an all weather flag.
• Display the flag only from sunrise to sunset, but it may be displayed at night – if illuminated.
• When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms.
• To store the flag, fold it neatly and ceremoniously
