The Flag’s Symbolism
The Honor and Remember Flag’s design is distinctive, yet simple. Each detail on the flag symbolizes an important part of the overall meaning of the flag’s message.
| The Red Field represents the blood spilled by brave men and women in America’s military throughout our history, who gave their lives so that our nation would remain free.
|  | The Blue Star represents active service in military conflict. This symbol originated with World War I, but on this flag it signifies service in all wars from the American Revolution to present day.
|  | The White Border surrounding the gold star recognizes the purity of sacrifice. There is no greater price an American can pay than to give his or her life in service to our country. |  | The Gold Star signifies the ultimate sacrifice of a warrior in active service who will not return home. Gold reflects the value of the life that was given. |  | The Folded Flag signifies the final tribute to an individual life that a family sacrificed and gave to the nation.
|  | The Flame is an eternal reminder of the spirit that has departed this life yet burns on in the memory of all who knew and loved the fallen hero. |
| | Flag Etiquette
The Honor and Remember flag is intended to be flown continuously, along with and under Ole Glory, the flag of the United States of America. The Honor and Remember flag may also fly independently on a separate pole, respecting the protocol of other official flags. The Honor and Remember Flag is to be flown below the Stars and Stripes whenever on the same pole and always to be in a subservient position. Never to diminish in meaning or stature the US Flag. It is suggested that it flies close to half-mast. When three or more flags are to be flown on the same pole it will fly second only to the American flag The Honor and Remember Flag should always be smaller than the American flag with which it flies. In other words if you are flying a 4 x 6 American flag the H&R flag should be no larger than 3 x 5. Our goal is that the Honor and Remember flag will eventually be adopted to fly continuously and in particular each year on Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day on the grounds or in the public lobbies of all military installations, as designated by the Secretary of the Defense, all federal national cemeteries, the national Korean War Veterans Memorial, the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the White House, the United States Postal Service post offices and at the offices of the Secretaries of State, Defense and Veteran's Affairs, and the Director of the Selective Service System.
