To properly fold the U.S. Flag, follow these steps:

1. Two people face each other, each holding one end of the flag. Stretch the flag horizontally at waist height and fold in half lengthwise.

2. Fold the flag in half lengthwise again; the union (stars) should be on the top.

3. One person holds the flag by the union while the other starts making triangular folds at the opposite end.

4. Continue to fold the flag in triangles from the stripes end until only the blue field with stars is showing.
