American Flag Association

American Flag Association (AFA; later, United States Flag Association) was an American vexillological society of individual members, and also a union of flag committees of the patriotic societies of the United States. The object of the AFA was the fostering of public sentiment in favor of honoring the flag of the United States, and preserving it from desecration, and of initiating and forwarding legal measures to prevent such desecration. Planning for the AFA began on July 15, 1897, and was completed on February 18, 1898.
