Great video thank you.
This is absolutely the best and correct way to fold our flag! Thank you for your service. SEMPER FI!
Excellent video.
Today is my last day working at my remote Ranger station in Yellowstone, and also my last time to raise and lower the flag.
Over the years I have struggled to get a good fold. You video will serve me well.
Thanks for taking the time to teach us old dogs new tricks.

I was handed one at age 4 at my father's funeral in 1968. I have since attempted to pass along the proper folding knowledge but I now realize that I wasn't as precise as I should have been. Thank you for your service. And thank you for passing along this knowledge.
Got choked up just watching…Leave it to the Marines to get the best out of Betsey’s banner.
I have been beating myself up over not hitting my mark! 3rd fold, red stripe new funeral flag! Bingo!
Thank you! ❤

Beautiful
Thank you for pointing out the fold at the red stripe. Didn't know that, and didn't have enough to tuck in.
I haven't found anyone to say if it's correct to fold a "blue line" flag for a fallen officer. Would it be proper etiquette to fold same?
Mike... folding a blue line flag, a state flag, or the city's flag in which the officer served would be okay. Technically, there is no rule for who a flag can be folded for. There is however protocol and rules concerning who folds the flag. For example, uniformed military personnel should not fold a flag for a random civilian but two people not in uniform can. The priority is to treat the flag and the process respectfully. The folding and presentation of the flag is to honor the deceased and comfort their family. The more honor and respect shown the flag during that process is a demonstration of the respect we have for the fallen. We will be making a new flag folding video with overhead views and still images soon. Please check back.
Thank you.
Great learning video. Thank you 🫡
How do you ensure that the stars are properly lined up on the folded flag in the rows of 3, 2 and 1? I see them centered very nicely sometimes, but mine don't always turn out like that.

Is a non-funeral flag folded the same way?
We are going to make a new video very soon. In that one we will address that specific issue. The short answer is no. The memorial flag is the correct size for folding this way. The most common size someone hangs at their home is 3x5 and does not fold with the same results. Additionally, most flags made for outdoor use (weather flags) are nylon and the fold slips apart very easily. Treating the flag with respect is the primary goal here.
