The American Flags to Honor Our Veterans Act of 2024 amends federal flag law to allow American flags to be displayed in an upright position next to the graves of deceased military members and veterans in cemeteries. Currently, flag code requires flags to be displayed in specific ways, but this bill creates an exception to allow upright flags secured near grave sites as a way to honor those who served. The legislation affects cemeteries nationwide and would apply to any deceased member of the Armed Forces or veteran. The bill does not include any new funding requirements or implementation timeline, as it simply modifies existing flag display regulations to accommodate cemetery displays.
