HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah --   When the American flag is weathered and tattered, United States Code says Old Glory should be burned and disposed of with respect. Master Sgt. Dave Graham, the drug testing program manager for the 419th Medical Squadron and former 419th FW Honor Guard member, has collected and properly burned more than 150 unserviceable American flags over the past several years. As he received more flags from friends and family, he burned each one and added it to his growing bag of ashes. Graham recently buried the flag ashes at a lookout point in Utah's Uintah Mountains. He named the site "Old Glory Lookout." Graham says he'll continue to collect and dispose of American flags to show the respect it deserves.
