    An American flag in a ceremonial fire during a flag burning ceremony June 14, at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C 2nd LAAD Marines gathered the flags from the local community, folded each into a traditional triangle fold, and displayed them upon a table before the ceremony began. 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.”
