Veteran Day Flags

What is a Veteran Day Flag?

A veteran day flag is a special variation of the traditional American flag, designed to honor veterans and active military members.

While some designs mirror the familiar stars and stripes, others feature symbolic elements such as eagles, military emblems, olive branches, or wreaths. These details pay tribute to service across different branches and historical eras.

Some states may include unique symbols based on legislation or local traditions. Regardless of the design, veteran flags carry deep meaning — serving as a tribute to sacrifice, courage, and national pride.

How to Display a Veteran Day Flag

Displaying an American flag for veterans at home is a meaningful way to show respect and gratitude for those who’ve served. Whether it’s for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, or year-round patriotism, there are plenty of great ways to do it.

You can hang your flag vertically or horizontally on a wall, fence, or porch—or fly it high on a pole in your yard. It’s all about finding what works best for your space and style.

If you’re flying your flag alongside the American flag (Old Glory), it’s important to follow proper flag etiquette. According to the U.S. Flag Code, the American flag should always take the position of honor—meaning it should be placed above or to the right of any other flag.

A few other tips to keep in mind before hanging your flag outside:

• Check the wind. Windy areas can be tough on flags. Go for heavier materials and consider a smaller size to avoid tangles or wear and tear.
• Know the rules. Some neighborhoods or buildings have specific guidelines about where or how many flags can be flown. It’s always a good idea to check in first.
• Keep it functional and tasteful. Choose a spot that makes your flag visible, secure, and a proud part of your home’s patriotic decor.

No matter how you display it, a Veteran Day flag is a powerful way to share your appreciation and inspire others to do the same.
