Sgt. Aaron C. Burke, a gunner with 2nd Low Altitude Air Defense Battalion, throws an American flag into a ceremonial fire June 14, during a flag burning ceremony at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C. Before the flags were set ablaze, members of the crowd spoke about what the flag meant to them. 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.”
