While Freedom and Glory last much longer, even the highest quality material deteriorates from outdoor conditions. U.S. flag code states that a flag must be retired and destroyed once it is significantly faded, frayed, or torn. However, throwing an American flag in the trash violates the U.S. flag code. Flags stand for those who fought for and gave their lives to protect our liberties and rights, so they should always be treated respectfully. American flags must be burned and not simply thrown away. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetiring your flag properly can pose a challenge for businesses with limited time and resources.
