Yes, we burn the American flag in Concord. But don't think it's out of protest or disrespect -- in fact, it's just the opposite. Our flag burning is actually an act of respect: we retire worn flags with dignity and honor. We do this every year on Veteran's day to thousands of flags, a ceremony that involves the involvement from every facet of our community.
