American Flag Guidelines

• The flag of the United States is the emblem of our identity as a separate nation, which the United States of America has been for more than 200 years.
• The custom is to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on flagstaffs in the open, but it may be displayed at night upon special occasions to produce a patriotic effect.
• When the flag is hung vertically on a wall, window or door the Union (blue) should be to the observer’s left. When the flag is hung either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the Union (blue field) should be to the observer’s left.
• The flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously.
• It should not be displayed on days when the weather is inclement.
• It should be displayed, weather permitting, on all holidays: New Year’s Day; Inauguration Day; Lincoln’s Birthday; Washington’s Birthday; Armed Forces Day; Easter Sunday; Mother’s Day; Memorial Day (half-staff until noon); Flag Day; Independence Day; Labor Day; Constitution Day; Columbus Day; Veterans Day; Thanksgiving; Christmas; and state holidays and admission days.
• It should be displayed at every public institution and in or near every polling place on election days, and at schoolhouses during school days.
• In a procession the flag is to the right of another flag or, if in a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.
• The flag should not be displayed on a float except from a staff, nor draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle.

Cooperative

cooperative (“coop”), co-operative (“co-op”), or coöperative (“coöp”):  Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all persons able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.

Being part of the cooperative family is a great accomplishment.  One benefit is that you are part of one very large family.  Here at BTInet we understand all of the challenges faced by cooperatives such as expenses, reliability of infrastructure, and keeping up with the never slowing down world.
