There isn’t a more beautiful sight than the American flag flying high. While you may know how to display the American flag, it is important to know how to discard a tattered or soiled flag.
When a flag is no longer a fitting symbol to display. The United States Flag Code says to retire it in a dignified way by burning and burying, according to Collins Flags.
While the federal code contains no penalties for misusing the flag. All states have their own flag codes and may impose penalties. The language of the federal code makes clear that the flag is a living symbol.
