You know.. I fully understand the concept of patriotism and I am in full support of it in memorials, but I really wish people would stop using that as an excuse or "waver" for disrespecting our flag, and the U.S. Flag Code of ethics states The Flag is NOT SUPPOSED to be allowed to touch the ground or any "soiled" surface and must be held in an elevated manor. Its ok to, and pefectly appropriate for a display of a flag here at this crash site as a memorial, but it should have been elevated OFF the GROUND.
