- My flag got wrecked from all the wind and storms we have been having this year. Can You Fly a Tattered American Flag?
"The short answer is “no,” flags that display tears or appear worn down in a significant way should not be hoisted under any circumstances, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs."
So now what? How should we properly dispose of our old flags. In this video I will show you how I disposed of my old damaged flag.
To property dispose of an American Flag the VFW says you should never shred or throw away an American Flag. They say you should retire your flag by taking it down to the VFW for a ceremonial retirement.

There is so much etiquette in using the flag properly. One thing I see is people fly the flag all day and night. It is supposed to be raised for 'colors' in the morning and lowered/taken down at sunset. I may need correction on my particulars.
Yeah there are a lot of rules for flags. They say you can put a light on it and keep it up at night. The VFW does that for their flag pole. I was just sharing what I learned when I needed to take our old flag down.
