    FORT WORTH, Texas — An Army veteran decorated for his famous cleaning up of a U.S. flag that was burned in protest during the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas has died. Dan Walker, who was captured by TV cameras carefully gathering the flag remnants so they could be buried properly, died Wednesday from prostate cancer at his Fort Worth home.
