Flag flying day

Day where all citizens and public/private organizations hoist the national flag


A flag flying day is a day, when it is decreed, either officially or by tradition, that the national flag should be hoisted by every official agency in the country and private citizens and corporations are also recommended to fly the national flag, thus for those days neither leaving the flag staff empty nor using their own family or corporate flags.[1][2] There may also be flag flying days observed for some provincial flags.
