What should be done with a worn-out FFA jacket?

The correct course of action for a worn-out FFA jacket is to discard it or remove the emblem and lettering. This is important for maintaining the integrity and respect associated with the FFA emblem, which symbolizes values of leadership, growth, and community. The emblem and lettering represent a commitment to the organization, and once a jacket is no longer suitable for wear due to wear and tear, it is respectful to either remove these symbols or ensure they are properly handled before disposing of the fabric. This approach ensures that the significance of the FFA emblem is upheld and that it doesn't end up in a state that could diminish its value or meaning.

Keeping the jacket as a memento could lead to a situation where the emblem is treated casually, which may not align with the values of the organization. Similarly, while recycling or donating the jacket could seem beneficial, it does not address the importance of treating the emblem with respect post-usage.
