2.
United States Flag, Standard Fold:
A.
Flags folded by Honor Guards or others, in the standard triangular fold
are never folded exactly the same. This
is because of differences in fabric density in the flags, the weather, the time
of day, etc. Also, no two honor
guard details will ever fold the flag exactly the same. Consequently, folded flags can be bulky in the middle, loose
on the outer edges, or folded too tightly.
B. Inserting Standard Fold
Flag in a Flag Case:
(1) Place the Flag Case on a
table with the glass side down.
(2) Remove the screws from
the back of the flag case.
(3) Place the Folded Flag
with the field of stars face
down in the Case.
(4)
Insure the Folded Flag is spread equally within the Flag Case. Loosen edges and/or decrease bulk in the middle of the Flag
to enhance the fit.
(5) Replace the back and
tighten screws.
3.
United States Flag, False Fold:
A.
A FALSE FOLDED FLAG enables you to see a perfect star pattern through the
front of the glass. The 3ft x 5ft
flag, when false folded and placed in the small Ceremonial Flag Case will show
six (6) stars. The 3ft x 5ft flag,
when false folded and placed in the large Burial Flag Case, will show eighteen
(18) stars. The 4ft x 6ft flag,
when false folded and placed in a large Burial Flag Case, will show
approximately 10 stars. The 5ft x
8ft and the 5ft x 9-1/2 ft flags when false folded will show six (6) stars.
(1)
Cut a piece of matte board or cardboard in a triangle approximately 1/8th
inch smaller than the inside cavity of the flag case.
(2)
Slide the matte board under the flag to the center of the star pattern.
Align the peak of the triangle approximately ¾ inch above the top point
of a star.
(3)
Make sure the bottom of the triangle matte board is level with the
stars on the bottom row.
(4)
Turn the flag with the matte board over and place it in the cavity of the
flag case. Fold the remainder of
the flag into the flag case, replace the back, and reinsert the screws.
4.
