    We used to have to fold the flag when I was in school. It instilled patriotism in me. Glad to see that you took the time to educate people on this.

I was lucky enough and can’t Thank my pops(aka grandpa),WWII navy captain I’ll never forget the times I was lucky enough to help him fold the flag. Started at age 10 and my last time was his funeral when I was 23. I’m 31 now and am so glad I had him in my life. He made me proud to be an American and I’m glad he doesn’t have to see the country nowadays

    The flag I have on my Jeep has become tattered from it being attached to a moving vehicle, and it’s time I burn it, but it’s been about 6 years since I’ve had to fold/respectfully dispose of old glory. So I need to revisit this and relearn the folding process.

      Californian here, when I was in elementary school my class had to hoist the flag every morning and every student had to take a turn at hooking it up and then we would pledge allegiance. When it was my turn to hoist the flag I had intentionally hooked it upside down and screamed anarchy. Proudest moment of my childhood.

    • @Evan-27
      @Evan-27 Год назад +1

      The proper way to fold a Swedish flag:
      Fold the flag in half lengthwise so that the points of the flag are aligned.
      Fold the flag in half lengthwise a second time to form a long strip with the red disc facing the ground.
      Fold the pointed end back onto itself to form a rectangle.
      Fold a big part of the left corner to the back.
      For the right sides, fold only a small part of the corner to the back.
      The right crossbar should be longer than the one on the left side.

      @gaylecoombs5510 Год назад

      So if your on striped end the part in your left hand shouldn't have any openings they should all be in your right hand. Now take you left hand to your right and that's how you make your 1st fold, also in case you didn't know when it's all folded up there shouldn't be any red showing

      I always laugh when people do not understand the meaning of "intent" and "state of mind". If I touch your wife's tiddy, I might get charged with assault. If her doctor does it, he gets paid. Same act, different intent, different consequences.

      Correct. Burning a flag is a proper way to dispose of unusable USA flag. But as others have mentioned, not every flag burning is respectful.
      To those in doubt I recommend folding the flag and take it to the nearest American Legions club to have them burn the flag respectfully.
