38. If a flag's condition violates U.S. flag code

Sat Oct 4, 2025, 06:09 PM

Saturday

the owner is supposed to take it to an American Legion post, Boy Scout troop or other entity authorized to burn it "ceremoniously.".

How silly. I can burn it as well as they can, and even say a few words over it since ceremony seems to be their emtire point.

Let's see... "This was a good flag. It served its country well, just like the millons of other flags made in Taiwan sweat shops to represent the United States of America.

"I now commend this flag to a blaze of glory with this Bic lighter, also made in Taiwan, or China or some other country whose indentured servitude works to our advantage. USA!"
