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.

Also, how much dirt touches the flag while it’s up?

The pledge of allegiance was also made by a flag manufacturor to sell more.

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.

And this is while most people who say the flag can’t touch the ground ignore the other rules in the flag code (that doesn’t apply to civilians) that state that the flag should not be flown on the same pole as another flag, and in the event that it is flown alongside another flag on a separate pole, both flags should be flown at the same height.

Only same height if it’s another national flag pretty sure
