1899 Cooking Instructions
When two new States were admitted to the Union (Kentucky & Vermont), a resolution was adopted in January of 1794, expanding the flag to 15 stars and 15 stripes. This flag was the official flag of our country from 1795 to 1818, and was prominent in many historic events.
When displaying the flag, it is important to remember certain guidelines of proper flag etiquette.
They are:
******* When on display or carried in a procession with other flags, the flag should be positioned to its own right. Also, it should be placed to the right of a speaker or staging area, while other flags are placed to the left.
