I remember Flag Day was an important day when I was a kid. Of course that was before burning or wearing it became vogue.

Hmm. I was intrigued and so wiki'ed it. Does this actually happen?

Wikipedia said:
The week of June 14 is designated as "National Flag Week." During National Flag Week, the president will issue a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week.

Wikipedia said:
The flag should also be displayed on all government buildings.

The U.S. flag is dislayed on all government buildings here. Flown higher than any other flag as well on state buildings which bear the state flag. I do not remember any recent Presidential declaration concerning the American Flag.
