it must be burned
It is a common misconception that a US flag should be immediately burned if it touches the ground, but under US code regarding the flag, this isn't the case.If a US flag touches the ground it should be adjusted so that it no longer touches the ground. If it gets dirty it can be washed or dry cleaned.If it becomes stained, soiled, or tattered and cannot be cleaned or repaired, so that it becomes unfit for display then it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning it.it can touch the ground if a carpet of gold horse hair is on the ground. that is super rare so normally it cannot touch the ground. in Egypt there is a really big carpet of gold horse hair so a flag can touch the ground there.
A flag is a symbol of national pride in many countries. A flag should never touch the ground because it is a symbol for defeat and filth.
You don't. According to the United States Flag Code: "The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise." "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." However, simply touching the ground does not make a flag unfitting--it simply means that it should be moved so that it does not touch the ground.

Take it to your local VFW Post, and they will dispose of it properly for you.
Well if the American Flag touches the ground you are supposed to burn it. And if a flag is old and tattered then it should be burned
The ground the ground
if it is old you should take it to a flag burning place
The American flag should never touch the ground, floor, or any object below it.
You are not suppose to let it touch the ground, however, I have never heard where it had to be destroyed if it did.
The American flag is to be destroyed in a ceremonial fire if it ever touches the ground - but this is only followed by military/organizations and very strict patriotic people. Contact the American Legion or Boys Scouts for info you can trust.
