question about displaying the flag

You don't have to be in the military, or be a boy scout to dispose of your flag, per the information I listed above. Just do it using the rules set forth above.

i understand that, but it is a flag, and needs to be handled with respect
(not saying i wouldnt be able to give it the proper level off respect)
an i figured the highest ranking service member disposing of it would be the highest level of respect i could bestow (plus wouldnt it be an honor to the service member as well?)

at any rate, since the house warming party isnt going to happen, im just going to bring it to the VFW
