Replacing a torn American flag. 

There are many issues that can come with flying a flag, such as a flag wearing and tearing from everyday use. I replaced the 4x6foot flag with a 3x5foot gold fringe flag in the meantime. No matter how tough a flag is, it will eventually begin to tear, that is the life of a flag. Some tougher flags can last over a year or two, as mine has, while other lighter flags can begin to tear after the first time you fly it, all depends on the wind speeds. On a side note, I would never throw it in the trash if it’s torn behind repair, I would save the worn flag, set it aside and wait until November 11th to burn the flag in a respectful and ceremonial way. God bless you and America! 🇺🇸
