The flag should always be treated with respect - it . It must not touch the ground, be flown in disrepair or mockery, etc. It may not be worn on clothingas apparel, etcor incorporated into athletic uniforms or costumes.However, it may be worn as a lapel pin, near the heart. It may be permissible to attach other flag replicas to clothing. (Military, public safety, and patriotic organizations are explicitly permitted to wear flag patches.)
