@pinkprius And who could blame him? Quoting https://www.collinsflags.com/blog/archives/1366, "when an American flag becomes worn, faded, torn or soiled, it should be retired and replaced with a new flag. There are several ways to respectfully dispose of the American flag without showing disgrace. The most commom method is *burning* the torn or tattered flag in a special ceremony." All checks out to me here. 😄
