I don't find much in the literature about a procedure to dedicate a new USA flag at say, a grade school, or other such public site. For example: Would there be an official ceremony to install a framed USA flag in a school gymnasium or cafeteria?
Regards to all forum members.

Would there be an official ceremony to install a framed USA flag in a school gymnasium or cafeteria?

Hi, welcome to the forum! There is no special protocol for something like this -- it would be up to the school and perhaps the donor to decide what's appropriate. A short presentation about the history of the flag might be good, especially if that particular flag had historical associations.

I found this on a site for the 28th Iowa Volunteer Infantry. You could adapt this to make a nice ceremony for the dedication of your flag.

Therefore, in the name of citizens of Iowa and the United States of America, I now dedicate this flag. I dedicate it to the memory of those in the Navy who guarded our inland seas and ocean coasts, and fell in defense of the flag.
I dedicate it to the memory of those in the Army who fought for our hillsides and valleys and plains, and fell in defense of the flag.
I dedicate it to all the citizens who fought for the authority of the Constitution and fell in defense of the flag.
Finally, I dedicate it in the memory of all Americans since our country’s beginnings, who on land, on sea, and in the air, fought for their country and fell in defense of the flag.
I would now ask those of you who are able to rise and bow your heads in a moment of silence in memory of those who served under this flag and to honor the flag itself;
PAUSE FOR SILENCE (ten seconds)
I would now ask the audience to turn to the flag, place your hand over your heart, and pledge allegiance to the flag:
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Thanks for the information. It looks quite usable with minor modifications.
