In addition to putting the carbon copy of the flag code to the wikisource, it would probably be worth considering moving the summary of the flag code in 'Flag of the United States' here.--NicholasJones 21:10, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Done (though it's much more than a summary). --ScottMainwaring 07:22, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Proper Disposal
I had always heard that the property way to dispose of a flag is to first cut out the stars (separate from the strips). Then its just a piece of cloth and then it should be burned. This way its not burring the flag but just burning a piece of cloth. Can anyone confirm this for an addition to this article?

[edit] Examples of Flag Code violations
- Rocky Balboa draping the flag over his shoulders. "The flag should never touch anything beneath it." "The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery."
- After September 11, 2001, many Americans flew the flag on their cars to the point that it began to shred. "The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way."
