Please correct me if I'm wrong.. but I always thought that wearing an ACTUAL FLAG is not permitted (like stated above). But if it is a picture of the flag on a shirt, that is acceptable.
It seems to apply to all uses of the flag in nearly every form:
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner
whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or
handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or
boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising
signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform.
However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel,
firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents
a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag
pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
I don't remember how I came across it but I was surprised by all the rules surrounding the flag.

and as for the pledge of allegiance. I never questioned. it was a part of school for me everyday... and for many years before I was in school.
just b/c some atheist doesn't want his kid saying it b/c of "God", doesn't mean everyone has to stop saying it.
"Under G-d" isn't the only complaint against the pledge of allegiance. Some people don't agree with being forced to pledge your allegiance to a flag or country and there is also the argument that school aged children may not (and often do not) understand the full meaning and gravity of the words. If you're going to take a pledge, you should fully understand what you're saying.
