This is beautiful and definitely honorable for all who are aware. Thank you for sharing. :)
Brilliant! I had no idea (I'm British) that each fold of the flag meant anything.! Thank you.
Great hub. As a part of the Honor Guard in the Air Force I folded the American flag many times but did not know this, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful hub.....have seen the flag folded a few times but never knew the folds had these meanings. Thanks! :)
Thanks All for your comments... The meaning is only an Old-Wives-Tale - it is not true... The tale has been around for so long that and the tale is so nice - that we all believe it and want it to be true...
Thanks...

I had not heard about the meaning of folding the flag. Old wives tale or not, it's nice.
Loved this Hub - never knew all this - thanks.
