Contrary to an urban legend, the flag code does not state that a flag that touches the ground should be burned. Instead, the flag should be moved so it is not touching the ground.
I guess just if it gets tattered you’re supposed to dispose of it properly.
The burning after it touches the ground is actually what you’re supposed to do according to the flag code.
That, I also learned, is a common misconception. Flag code just says pick it up off the ground.
You’re correct
I guess just if it gets tattered you’re supposed to dispose of it properly.
