A sanitation worker cleaning up after the Democratic National Convention at Invesco Field found thousands of flags that were in a dumpster ready to be thrown out. The flags were saved and are being used, actually recycled at Saturday's McCain / Palin rally in Colorado Springs. If only there were some US Military personnel and/or Boy Scouts around this might not have happened.
According flag etiquette "When a U.S. flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner. Most American Legion Posts, VFW Chapters and Boy Scout Troops regularly conduct dignified flag burning ceremonies, often on Flag Day, June 14th. Contact your local American Legion Hall, VFW Chapter or Boy Scout Troop to inquire about the availability of this service. NEVER THROW A FLAG IN THE GARBAGE!"

Obama said they were not throwing them away, but they were piled up against a dumpster.
