    The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Auxiliary National Organization released information on flag etiquette at parades before the 4th of July.

    The VFW said when an American Flag passes to:

    • Stand Up
    • Remove Your Hat
    • Place Your Right Hand Over Your Heart
    • Stop Any Conversation You Are Having

    It is not necessary to salute every American Flag that passes the, VFW said. If it is carried by an honor guard or in a group with other flags, stand up and salute (veterans) or pay respect to the Flag. Also, you do not need to salute small hand-held flags carried by parade attendees and participants.

    “Teach your children to respect our nation’s Flag. If they are given a small Flag, please not not throw it on the ground or in the street,” the VFW said
