Just a reminder, there are no "laws" regarding the US flag, only

oh well.

In that section, most of the stuff is considered "customs." Note that there is
heavy use of the word "should" in many of the sections. Section 3 (using the
flag for advertising purposes), however, is obviously a law; it states that the
offense described is a crime and dictates the fine. As far as this reference is
concerend, Blanche seems to be correct that not allowing the flag to touch the
ground (and similar customs) fall into the category of conventions.
