"Hi I'm Harvey Kronberg, I'm going to be joined by my wife Michele, we both own Austin Flag and Flagpole in Austin Texas. And we are occasionally asked how you fold a flag naval style. Actually folding a flag naval style is the same as folding it for any kind of commemoration, you're going to fold it into triangles. You start with the flag elevated so that the stars are up on the viewers left. You rotate it 90 degrees so that it's flat with the ground, you hold it taut, you fold it in half the first time, then you fold it in half the second time. You make sure all your creases are taut and straight, and then one person holds the flag at the star end and the other one at the stripe end, and then you start going- once everything is straight and taut, you go and you start to build your triangle, folding it triangle over triangle; folding it triangle over triangle, and then you ultimately end up with the entire exterior of the flag wrapped in the blue field with the stars on it. If you have any left over you tuck it inside one of the folds. You end up with a triangular flag much as you would for a military funeral or for any kind of commemorative presentation of a flag."
