	The Flag is lowered-
		Since I was present during the lowering of the flag, I did not see anyone cutting a piece of the flag - all I saw was the removal of the flag from the rope and thrown into a fire that had already been started and the flag was completely burned.
		The flag was slowly lowered while we all stood at a salute, taken off the rope without it touching the ground and placed in a small bonfire started for this purpose.
		All of the people that witnessed this event were within 15 feet of the flag pole and to have had someone cut a piece of the flag without being observed appears impossible to me. The whole operation would have had to stop and when stopped everyone would have seen what was going on.

		And to support that strategic redeployment is not the waving of the "the white flag of surrender", but it is a rewarding of those U.S. Troops for the accomplishment of their mission, which reward is of course, their Homecoming.
