Which is why, for a protest, we call it "burning".Burning the flag.
Both a symbol of hate and a symbol of retirement....
Uugghh ok
When it's done respectfully, we call it "retiring".

I always wondered....is there a specific method to properly do this or is it more about the ceremony?
Nope.And I bet you don't stomp on the flag when you retire it.
The most important thing would be, doing it respectfully.I always wondered....is there a specific method to properly do this or is it more about the ceremony?
I would say that defines respect. Well done act and all the rest. Your honorable intent and great care is what differentiates It from a disrespectful action at the hands of protestors.Nope.
Try pretty hard to not put it on the ground either.
But those big ones are hard to do when we only have a few people working.
We don't throw the flag onto the fire on the ground.
We build the fire, and then grate made up of pipes goes over it.
Flags go on the grate, and burn off of it.
Learning to properly handle the flag was an important teaching for us Scouts growing up in the 70's.When we have Scouts or schoolchildren, we'll take a group to the side, and teach them how to fold it.
And we'll add in some history.
After all, we can't have 20 kids on the fire at the same time.
And kids doing nothing get bored.
I was telling the Scouts that I had learned to fold the flag as a young Scout in the 70s, and one of the moms said, "I wasn't even born in the 70s".
Yikes. Great. Cause I didn't feel old before.
Weeds just do that naturally. They are better at absorbing moisture.Wednesday morning and the rain will fall where it does to make your weeds grow faster than the grass.

Did you just assume jedi's gender!
What if 2day was the day jedi identifies as a lego? Well!!!
.Can't we re purpose the flags as opposed to burning them?
It seems very boomerish to burn a perfectly good cloth when we could make art or hats or bandanas...
I dunno, maybe it's just me..
Cloth is made every day.
It's not the Great Depression.
