No. One does not get it (not beeing an American) unless you read it or have
been told about this "our flag is so sacred" thingy [1]. I also have a US
flag somewhere ... I stowed it away someplace ... no idea where it
currently is - but it really doesn't matter. It is only a piece of fabric -
for me. YMMV, I guess.

[1] the first time I read about all those rules I had a good laugh. But
this is only me. I respect those respecting the rules. But don't expect
everybody else respecting those rules. It is a law only in your country.
