2. EQUIPMENT FOR CEREMONY

There should be a raised speakers! stand or platform,
suitably decorated and large enough to accommodate speakers and
honored guests. Confusion can be avoided if the seats are marked
with names of the persons who will occupy them.

It is urged that there be but one platform, and that the
number of persons seated on it be held to a minimum. When it is
necessary to have additional guests, they should be accommodated
below the platform on seats placed to one side, so that they will
not intervene between the platform and the audience of plant
personnel.

A flag of the United States should be provided for use
as described on Page 1); of this Manual.

It is possible that you may be able to secure an Army or

ce Color Guard from a nearby post or establishment. If unable

[
to secure such a Color Guard, you may use a uniformed color guard

\\ trom some local organization, or one organized within your plant.
Facilities for a public address system should be set up

if the size of the ceremony warrants such arrangements.

NOTE: The Award flag shall not be displayed in any way until the
formal presentation is made. For instructions on how to fly the
flag and how to erect suitable flagstaffs, see Appendix at back
of this manual.
