What this bill would do
This bill is known as the ``National Patriot Day Remembrance Flag Act''. It officially designates the Freedom Flag as the national symbol of remembrance for the events of September 11, 2001. The bill outlines the specific meanings behind the flag's colors and symbols, which honor victims, first responders, and everyone affected by the attacks. Additionally, the legislation requires the Freedom Flag to be displayed publicly at prominent federal locations and buildings each year from September 11 through the end of September. These locations include the Capitol, the White House, national cemeteries, major military installations, specific secretary offices, and United States Postal Service post offices. Finally, the bill dictates that the flag's order of precedence will follow the POW/MIA Flag and that its disposal must follow Veterans Affairs practices.
