My dad was presented his dad's flag and when my dad passes away who is to receive my grandpa's flag then? I am having trouble finding an answer I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this.

It is your dad's property to pass down to whomever he chooses. Should he not choose anyone, it would be up to his next of kin to decide what to do with it.

We have my dh’s grandfather’s flag. It was passed down to him from his grandmother after she passed away.

Once the military has presented the flag to the family member, it is up to that person to decide what to do with it. Your dad is the one to choose who will inherit it, or he can give it to a VA group if they collect them. |

My dad was presented with my grandfather's flag, and when my dad passed we asked that the same flag be used at his funeral. I now have it.

Are you asking because you want to keep it? If so, then yes, if your dad wants you to have it, that is his choice.
Or are you asking because you do not want it and need to determine who should get it? If so, you have two choices: 1) tell your dad you don’t want it and see who he thinks should have it instead, or 2) accept the flag if he gives it to you, and after the funeral, make the decision to give it away or have it burned.
Of course, all this is moot if your dad intends to pass the flag on to someone else. In that case, as stated previously, it is his choice as to who should receive it.

My dad passed first, it went to my mom.
My mom passed, I insisted it go to my only brother.
It will likely go to my nephew when my brother passes.
