If anyone told me to remove my flag I would politely say go f yourself but they are more than welcome to try to remove it for me. Some people need to be banished from the US

There must be more to this story. The guy was a Fire District Board Chairman. And it happened last year. How does someone of that level have more power than the Mayor or City Manager ?

Just a sideshow of the Firefighter's Union vs. the town's management (mayor); it has nothing basically to do with the flag flying.  Believe me, I grew up back there and it's just a power struggle for who controls the money (budget) and how much one can steal from the other. 2funny

Meathead how can you or anyone say there must be more to this story? He to.d them to take them off the truck. What more do you need to know? There is NO reason for them to remove the flags from their trucks. Why were they flying them? To HONOR the fallen. THAT IS ALL ANYONE NEEDS TO KNOW. Honor of fallen service men!

I said it because it seems odd to me that a Board Chairman would have more power than the Mayor or City Manager. And that it actually happened last year.
