    This is a myth perpetuated by the flag manufacturers to sell more flags. Why would you need to burn your flag because it got dirt on it? That’s what washing machines are for.

      It’s also what the US flag code says. The only time it recommends burning is when it’s so tattered it’s not fit for use anymore.
