Awesome thread Star! My Great Grandfather, a Spanish American War Vet, taught me how to fold the flag....and we would wake every Am to put her up,and then take her down and fold her every night and place her upon an alter. He taught me a good deal about the flag during our folding sessions.

I learned about it this year -- I retired a flag that I had flown all during my brother's deployment and I wanted to take it down before it was truly disgraceful, so I did and I folded it the proper way and gave it to him when he returned.
