Dear Prudence, 
A house in my neighborhood has an extremely tattered American flag atop a flagpole. I would like to purchase a new flag for the home and ask if I could have the old flag, so that I can ensure it is properly disposed of. I am struggling to think of a way to walk up to the home, and ask for the flag that will not offered or seem judgmental of the occupants. I don’t want them to feel bad that they might be unable to keep up the exterior of their home. But as a veteran I feel the need to help Old Glory.

    He can offer, but they also can decline. Pride is a powerful emotion, and it might not be received well or they can be very grateful for the offer. You never know.

    This is one of those "Go Top Secret Special Ops - Gilly Suit if necessary" times and replace it without so much as a word to anyone if the flag is truly in that bad of shape...  Never know, they could have the new one inside and just haven't had a chance to put it up, or the flag pole is messed up and they can't get the old one down...
