  • If you fly an American flag, it will inevitably become worn and tattered. You may wonder how to retire Old Glory respectfully.

    Weird how burning the flag can be both one of the highest forms of disrespect and respect

      Like with everything, it's the intention and meaning behind it... and perspective and culture.

    The other proper way is to get a bunch of other warn flags, place them in a proper container & burry them in a proper place like a monument or military cemetery.

    I’ve been flying my flags for 2 1/2 years proudly on my property. I separate the stars from the stripes, then, burn the stripes with respect and dignity you can either bury the stars underneath the flagpole or close by the flagpole where you can burn the stars as well. Once the stars are separated from stripes?
    It is no longer the American flag or our countries banner. just be respectful when you do it and you’ll sleep and sleep at night..

      In Commieforina you can do whatever TF you want to the flag as the entire state is already completely at odds with the American way of life & equally disrespectful. Commieforina is one of many wasteland "states" that the overwhelming majority have written off LONG LONG ago & the reasons are practically endless. Similar to NY, NJ, ha, Massachusetts, Illinois, Colorado, Michigan & a few others sh!tholes. It's a shame to because there are some beautiful places in almost all these states.
