Gameday Flags / Honor + Service

Carry the colors with respect.

The United States flag holds the position of honor. Armed Forces colors recognize military service. Public-safety flags recognize the people and organizations that respond when communities need them. The POW/MIA flag carries a distinct remembrance. This collection keeps those purposes separate and pairs each presentation with sourced guidance.

01 / National colorsUnited States flag first and in the position of honor.
02 / Armed ForcesJoint-service order follows current Department of Defense guidance.
03 / Public safetyFire, wildland fire, law enforcement, and EMS remain agency-specific.
04 / RemembrancePOW/MIA presentation remains distinct from branch identity.

01 / The national colors

The flag that leads the formation.

The Eder reinforced-fly United States flag is the released national-color product in this collection. It is not described as a VA burial flag, a government-issued flag, or a substitute for an authorized ceremonial flag.

03 / Public safety + emergency service

Honor the people who answer the call.

Fire & Rescue, Wildland Fire, Law Enforcement, and Emergency Medical Services are grouped as public-safety disciplines—not military branches. Each product must retain its exact agency, jurisdiction, rights status, and governing display protocol.

Fire & Rescue, Wildland Fire, Law Enforcement, and EMS designs are in preparation. Explore the first responder display guide while the collection takes shape.

02 / Joint-service colors

Six services. One deliberate order.

For a joint Armed Forces color guard, current DoD guidance places the service colors after the national colors in this sequence: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard.

04 / Remembrance

Never a decorative afterthought.

The POW/MIA flag carries its own remembrance purpose. It belongs in an intentional display plan and is not treated here as another military-branch color.

American heritage / In preparation

05 / Display fundamentals

Respect is visible in the details.

These are orientation points, not a substitute for the governing protocol of a military unit, cemetery, facility, color guard, or event.

01

Position of honor

When flags are displayed together, place the United States flag in the position of honor required by the arrangement. In a joint color guard, it leads the service colors.

02

Raise and lower

Display from sunrise to sunset unless properly illuminated. Hoist briskly and lower ceremoniously, keeping the flag under control.

03

Keep it clear

Do not allow the United States flag to touch the ground, floor, water, or anything beneath it. Inspect the display and surroundings before raising it.

04

Do not dip it

The United States flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. State, regimental, and organizational flags may be dipped as a mark of honor.
