Local officials in New Jersey are criticizing the state’s turnpike authority for allegedly taking down American flags that were hung along overpasses in the wake of the attacks on Sept. 11 to honor veterans and those who died defending the country, according to authorities and reports.
Michael Slininger, president of the police union representing Robbinsville Township, near Trenton, said the group had just paid to replace the more than 12 flags that had been either “missing or tattered” from the overpasses along the New Jersey Turnpike and Interstate 195 – which they had done “to continue the tradition of honoring our veterans and those lost in service for our country.”
“American flags have been flown on overpasses throughout the state and throughout the nation since 9/11,” Slininger wrote Monday on a post to the Robbinsville Township Police Benevolent Association’s Facebook page. “Now, as we approach the anniversary of that horrific day, we are extremely disappointed to announce that the NJ Turnpike Authority saw fit to remove all flags on overpasses covering the N.J.T.P. last week, replacing them with signs citing … a code which is meant to apply to advertisement material or improper road signage.”

Murphy probably ordered the Turnpike Authority to remove them.
Gee, would the NJ Governor do that? Shirley he’d let them be replaced, right? /s
Burn
Loot
Murder
Roger goddell started all of this.
You can not condone disrespect for the flag and not expect acceptance of disrespect for the flag. And all that comes with it which is tremendous.
We will be remembering the 9/11 on Friday.
New York cancelled all commemorations of the muslim-inspired terrorist attack on New York and Washington in 2001 because of their hatred for the USA and their indebtedness to muslims for their votes and contributions to the democrat party. No one believes it was because of covid19.
I’m hoping Trump has a mega commemoration next year for 9/11. That will anger the America-hating left and their bearded friends.
Probably a good idea. It’s not a good idea to desecrate the flags by displaying them in a communist state.
