The meme came from here with this caption:
One reader noted of the flag on the floor: The boy is going somewhere. He’s got a plan, and he’s determined. And it’s his American flag (culture) that is literally & figuratively carrying everything he owns, everything important. It’s like this… We honor the flag, we keep it lit, and hoisted high… but if you were alone & freezing in the wilderness, it would also be your blanket. In that pursuit of life, it’s about the greatest honor you can give to it.

Question...if that was a beach towel or a bandanna in a flag print can those touch the ground?. Is it just an actual flag that can't touch the ground? Also, I need to change out my old flag for a new one...how do I dispose of the old one? I do like the artwork but I did notice the flag (or whatever) on the ground.

Technically, Old Glory should not be available as a beach towel or even a bandanna. Flags are not supposed to be used in that manner.
Your local American Legion likely accepts used flags which they dispose of properly (ironically by burning) on Flag Day (June 14). The VFW offers advice on disposal at home.
Here's the actual law:

Wow, thanks for that...I had no idea there were such intricacies involving the flag. It certainly seems like this is not being kept in many ways. Very informative.
