Currently, the U.S. Flag Code is mostly used to honor the memory of government leaders or to mark national tragedies and military anniversaries. This bill would introduce a recurring religious observance into the official flag protocols.

For some, this represents a meaningful recognition of a major holiday for many Americans. For others, it raises questions about the separation of church and state and whether national symbols should be used to mark specific religious events. If it becomes law, it would be a permanent change to how the flag is displayed every spring.
