An Act relative to recognition of the "Honor and Remember" flag in the Commonwealth

This bill designates the "Honor and Remember" flag as a symbol representing Massachusetts' commitment to honoring U.S. military members who died in service or from service-related causes, and their families. It specifies the flag's symbolism (e.g., red for blood shed, blue star for active service) and requires it to be displayed below the American flag on shared poles, never larger than the American flag. The bill lists eight specific days for optional display, including Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and National POW/MIA Recognition Day. Crucially, it clarifies that the bill is not a mandate - individuals, organizations, or government entities are not required to purchase or display the flag.
