It is not illegal in the sense that you can go to jail for it; however, "Flag Code" as found in Title 4 of the United States Code states "The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise."
So, while you will not go to jail for dragging the U.S. flag on the ground, it is actually against a U.S. Code that you either can or can not follow willingly. Many consider it disrespectful, not only to the flag, but to men and women in the military and to the country, to allow the country's flag to touch anything, including the ground, that is beneath it.
