A fire truck all by itself is a distraction to the driving public so a flag would hardly add to that but that is the whole point, stop and get out of the way. TO BE SEEN and HEARD. What is this country coming to?????

What timing...We were just told we had to remove our POW / MIA flag from our shop. It was hanging along with the Ohio state flag and the US flag. Sales was scheduled to do a plant tour with a Vietnamese customer and they felt they &quot;could&quot; be offended. The memo went out to take down the flag and all hell broke loose in the plant. Everyone in the plant &quot;WAS&quot; offended. I purchased new POW T shirts to wear instead.. HR got involved and guess what? They flag is back were it belongs. The world is getting too PC...

The fact that there are &quot;Americans&quot; trying to push this crap through really bothers me ... If anyone is ashamed or offended by our flag's then feel free to try another country and see if they are as understanding to your sensitive needs. Absolutely ridiculous ... These people should be ashamed of themselves [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
