REQUEST FOR DISPLAY OF COMMEMORATIVE FLAG FORM
NAME/ORGANIZATION: Justine Giacalone Rogina
TODAY'S DATE: 1/5/23
REASON FOR REQUEST FOR COMMEMORATIVE FLAG:
Please fly the POW MIA flag to honor all those who are prisoners of war and missing in action to protect our freedoms in this amazing country we call home.
Congress designated the third Friday of September as National POW/MIA Recognition Day and ordered prominent display of the POW/MIA flag on this day. This is why the month of September should have the POW/MIA flag flown.
When displayed from a single flag pole, the POW/MIA flag should fly directly below, and be no larger than, the United States flag. If on separate poles, the U.S. flag should always be placed to the right of other flags. On the six national observances for which Congress has ordered display of the POW/ MIA flag, it is generally flown immediately below or adjacent to the United States flag as second in order of precedence.
CITY FACILITY REQUESTED: Bob Heart Square Flag Pole
TIMEFRAME FOR DISPLAY OF FLAG: All of September 2023
