Our American flag:  Fly it high and fly it proud!  Several years ago, when on a 4th of July event with a teeshirt with symbol of American flag, a soldier politely approached me and said, ma'am, I know you likely mean no disrespect to  our flag, but you should never wear an image of our flag as a fashion or adornment.  He told me to check on the internet and I did.

Yikes!  This was life changing for me!  It was explained to me by this soldier via his examples of, say a red shirt, white tank, blue pants, are not disrespectful, they are merely the colors of the flag.  However, one you get into the stripes and stars , that is the disrespectful turf.

I learned a lot, and I hope this info helps you as well.
