Next time you bring it up with him, offer to him that someone you know will gladly take the tattered flag off his hands and burn it in a proper Flag Retirement ceremony with our Boy Scout troop. We have several flag ceremonies per year on camping trips. The grommets are given as tokens to military and various veterans organizations.

It was a good opportunity to discuss with my 11 year old proper flag etiquette again.
I'll bring that up as an option. Thanks.
