10 inches by 15 inches
12 inches by 18 inches

16 inches by 24 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches by 18 inches

The minimum size of the United States flag required for a deceased honorably discharged veteran is 12 inches by 18 inches. This size is stipulated to ensure that the flag can adequately represent the veteran's service and honor at their funeral or memorial service. Flags that are designated for such occasions serve a symbolic purpose, providing a dignified way to honor the sacrifices made by the veteran. The dimensions ensure that the flag is suitable for placement on a casket or displayed at memorial events, allowing for respect and visibility. Utilizing this specific size aligns with established regulations by the Department of Defense and respects the traditions associated with military funerals.
