The Flag Recognition Program is designed to recognize individuals, businesses, and organizations that display the U.S. flag correctly and consistently. The program encourages patriotic respect for the U.S. flag through various initiatives such as Flag Day programs and educational resource.

When a U.S. flag becomes soiled, faded, or damaged, it should be retired respectfully. The primary and preferred method of disposal is ceremonial burning. During these ceremonies, the flag is folded properly, placed in a large fire, and burned completely to ashes.
For those concerned about environmental impact, an alternative method is cutting the flag into strips, ensuring the blue star field remains intact, so it ceases to be considered a flag.
