Is Your Marketing Violating the US Flag Code?
Apr 15, 2026 · 1 min read · ♥ 2
There's a section of federal law that says the flag should never be used for advertising purposes. In any manner whatsoever.
I made a short video about it.
The short version: the flag code is advisory, not criminal. But the people who care most, veterans, service members, their families, they see it. And around here in the Metro East, with Scott Air Force Base right down the road, that's a lot of your customers.
What to do instead: use red, white, and blue as colors and design elements. Just don't drape the actual flag over your sale banner.
