Flag Code Violation!

This book embodies a game focused on the U.S. Flag Code and its application to the world around us. Readers will learn proper U.S. flag etiquette, while engaging in stimulating dialogue among companions. It is meant to be fun, and to foster discussion among its participants. This book, and its contents, is not intended to provide and does not constitute legal advice. Caveat emptor! If you can prove that any parts of this book's contents are wrong, inconvenient, annoying, or objectionable, congratulations! That is the beauty of the game.

This book and game are experiential learning. While you are enjoying the game, and the comradery of your fellow vexillophiles, you will be simultaneously developing and honing your critical thinking skills. This will occur through interpreting the vagaries of the law and its progeny precedent, while defending your assertions of "Flag Code Violation!," and refuting the claims of your competitors.

This game has been field tested through over a decade of play by the author's family and friends during road trip vacations, shopping errands, sporting events, travel and beyond.

It is easy to learn, challenging to master, and addictive to a fault.

In the spirit of fun, recognition for your achievement, and mastery of the game, and for the archaeology of posterity, a section has been provided at the end of this book to memorialize the Record of Renown™ for each Prized Patriot™ winner of each gaming session. The author assumes that this book will be enshrined in a place of prominence and reverence, being safeguarded with family Bibles and other important records, but has been produced in a size that may fit in your vehicle's glove box for convenience of access, should a game of Flag Code Violation!™ spontaneously erupt on a road trip or on the way to the store.

The author hopes this game provides you with as much enjoyment as it has provided his family and friends over many years. Best of luck!
