The United States Congress said when a flag “touches” the ground it is “soiled” and should be destroyed. One method they listed to destroy the flag was burning. They also listed the methods to display the flag.
Should the stars face north, south, easts or west at an intersection, where the star field should be when draping a flag etc.

The Boy Scouts will retire the flags properly during their campouts.
