美国国旗是星条旗（theStar-SpangledBanner），旗面左上角为蓝色星区，区内共有9排50颗白色五角星，以一排6颗、一排5颗交错。星区以外是13道红白相间的条纹。50颗星代表美国50个州，13道代表最初北美13块殖民地。据华盛顿说：红色条纹象征英国，白色条纹象征脱离它而获得自由。更普遍的说法认为，红色象征勇气，白色象征自由，蓝色则象征忠诚和正义。10/31/20223HistoryoftheUnitedStatesflag--2Americanstakethetreatmentoftheirflagseriouslyandinthe20thcenturythishasbecomeanimportantissue.Includedinthecodeofethicsaresuchrulesasthenationalflagcannotbeusedforadvertising.Itcannotcoveramonumentoranyceilings.Itmustnotbefoldedwhilebeingdisplayed.NooneshouldwriteonanAmericanflag.Shipscanlowertheirflagsslightlyingreetingeachother,butotherwiseshouldnotbedippedforanyotherobjectorperson.10/31/20225HistoryoftheUnitedStatesflag--3Inthelate1960s,Americanstudentsworesmallflagssewntothebackoftheirjeans,symbolicallyinsultingtheAmericangovernmentandprotestingitsinvolvementintheVietnamWar.TheyburnedtheAmericanflaginfrontoftheCapitolBuilding（国会大厦）inWashingtonasastatementofprotest.Intheearly1990s,senatorssuggestedanamendmenttotheConstitution（宪法）thatwouldmakethistreatmentoftheflagillegal.Theproposition（提议、议案）wasopposedbecausemanyothersfeltthatthischangewouldbeaviolationofAmericans'constitutionalrightstoexpresstheiropinionsfreely.

美国升国旗的惯例是，着便装的戴帽者，用右手将帽子摘下，举在左胸前；未戴帽者，以立正姿势对国旗行注目礼；穿军装者，则行军礼。

美国对挂放国旗的方式有如下规定：

10/31/2022124.国旗竖挂时，星区在上；

5.国旗与州旗、市旗或其他团体旗帜同挂在一条旗绳上时，应位于顶端；

6.会场上，国旗应位于第一排的右端；

10/31/2022147.国旗与其他旗帜一起悬挂时，应位于中间，并高于其他旗帜；

8.国旗悬挂在街道上空时，星区应朝北或者朝东；

9.在讲坛上，国旗应位于发言者的右侧；

10.国旗铺放在灵柩上时，星区应位于死者的左肩上方；

11.国旗挂在汽车上时，应牢固地固定于车身。

美国还规定，任何物体和徽章都不得置于国旗之上，也不得将国旗挂放在肮脏之处。

有时美国人还要对国旗宣誓。誓词系1892年由美国《青年伴侣》杂志社的编辑弗朗西斯·贝拉米写成。誓词全文是：“我宣誓忠实于美国利坚合众国国旗，忠实于她所代表的合众国——苍天之下一个不可分割的国家，在这里，人人享有自由和正义。”

1942年制定的法令规定，美国人对国旗宣誓时，应取立正姿势，右手郑重地放在左胸前，以示对国旗的崇敬。10/31/202216theU.S.Flagaroundus
