Re: why so many flags ? (none / 0)

WHen I was an exchange student in the UK I had an american friend who had an American flag in his room. When we were pacing to leave (I believe) I helped him fold the flag, and he admonished me not to let it touch the ground, otherwise he'd have to destroy it.

Re: why so many flags ? (none / 0)

Anyway, that site did answer your friends dilemma;-

My flag touched the ground. Do I need to destroy it?
No. You should, of course, try to avoid having the flag touch the ground. But if it does, you should correct the situation immediately. If the flag has been dirtied, you should clean it by hand with a mild soap solution and dry it well before returning it to use.
