Flag Placement
Here are my feelings on red white and blue napkins and plates and shirts and such. They are not flags. They are simply patriotic colors.
If someone prints a flag on a napkin or plate, I might feel offended. Same with cuting and sewing a shirt or shorts out of a flag. But things that simply have flag-type things like stars and stripes in those colors are not flags.
I've had someone till me I shouldn't wear the "thin blue line" flag which is a black and white flag with black and white stripes and stars and a blue stripe. It is not a US flag because the colors are different. I fly this flag and wear it on my vest to remember my son, Officer Scott Noller (EOW 12-28-2017). I'm not a fighting man at all. But don't get in my face and tell me to take off that flag patch.

Same logic leads me to not put flags on my clothes or other stuff, or use flag stamps on letters.
Yeah, some folks treat the colors like a trivial decoration, rather than a national symbol. Bothers me to see the flag used the way it is in Olympic audiences, or as a drape by athletes, etc. . .

since this is mostly an opinion forum, by opinion is that these precautions are ludicrous.
I wore a flag on a shirt for a number of years, not worrying too much about it getting dirty, abused or dropped because it did.
A flag on a stamp on an envelope has on objection?
