I've always been proud to know that the USA have it in our traditions, and I'm guessing written into our military codes, that we give our aged or damaged emblems an honorable and clean send-off in fire.

Its was always nice to know that the flag I was trained to salute would never end in the trash or some such place.

I don't mean to come across all gung-ho patriotic or anything. Its just nice to give honor to something that you have been assured will remain honored.

EDIT:
...and honorably retired.
