    Sgt. Jonathan Sanders and Cpl. David Beck, both automotive maintenance technicians with 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, throw an American flag into a ceremonial fire during a flag burning ceremony June 14, at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C. As each Marine set a flag in the fire, they stood at the position of attention and gave one last salute to Old Glory. The U.S. Flag Code dictates that “the flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.”
