The American flag is flying proudly again in its entirety over at the mayor’s Parkman House on Beacon Hill, after the city was called out for not replacing one that had been left in tatters there for days, if not longer.

It’s unclear when the ripped flag observed by an aghast reader was replaced, but a new flag was waving at the city-owned mansion on Monday, a day after the poor treatment of Old Glory was highlighted in the Herald’s “Pols & Politics” column.

“I think it’s important, especially for the veterans office, to make sure that those flags are always in good shape,” Tony Molina, president of the Puerto Rican Veterans Monument Square Association and a Purple Heart veteran, told the Herald.

“It’s disrespectful to veterans to have flags like that flying,” he said.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about whether the flag had been replaced — a Herald photographer made the observation — or why it was left in tatters in the first place.

Public Law 94-344, also known as the Federal Flag Code, states: “The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled or damaged in any way.”
