Senator Demands Answers After Superintendent of Denali National Park Brooke Merrell Tells Construction Workers to Remove US Flag from Equipment – It “Detracts” from Park Experience

A construction crew working on a bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was ordered to remove their American flag from their equipment. The park official said it “detracted” from the park experience.

Alaska Watchman reported:

The crew working on a 475-foot-long bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was recently told that they could no longer fly the American flag from their trucks or heavy equipment, which are being used in the $207 million Federal Highway Administration project.

..... Snip.....

According to the contractor, Denali National Park Superintendent Brooke Merrell contacted the man overseeing the federal highways project, claiming there had been complaints about the U.S. flags, and notifying him that bridge workers must stop flying the stars and strips from their vehicles because it detracts from the “park experience.”

“The trucks are flying these American flags, about a foot atop the trucks, about three-foot by four-foot flags, and they said they don’t want this,” the contractor explained. “They’re saying it isn’t conducive and it doesn’t fit the park experience.”

If there is nothing in the job contract addressing this issue she can’t do shi+ about it.

all these anonymous complainers....nobody has to stand up object, they just send in an anonymous note....and the govt gets its way...

we had a large gravel pit, out in the country where people would go shoot...it was there for decades...no one ever got hurt...

but then there were "complaints" and suddenly nobody could go shoot there anymore due to the "noise"....pure bs..

This is totally vile and disgusting. This woman and her ilk should not receive one more penny of tax payers’ dollars, no pension, no health care, nothing. She insults the memory of all those who gave their lives under that flag whom we will remember tomorrow. An American flag detracts from the experience? There would not be anything to experience without that flag!

My experience with the NPS in Washington state is that they are a woke paramilitary organization.

Judging the opinions of
others, eh?
I’ve the RIGHT to bitch if
a fly lands in my soup.
But it’s entirely my
choice as to wether to
eat it, or not.
That’s the beauty and
the main purpose for this
site.
Almost all here are
intelligent enough to
weed things out for
themselves.
Your frustrations are
genuinley placed, and
duly noted.
Bitch away, Friends!

I went to the NPS Denali Twitter page an hour ago and there was a post explicitly denying the accusation. No name or attribution, of course.
Went back 2 minutes ago and that denial post appears to have vanished.
Either it’s my error (quite possible) or someone’s got more egg on their face.

Should have told the fugly Marxist witch that’ll have to wait until construction resumes the next work day.

And at the end of each day, hoist the flag once the foreman has attended to every other matter and left the site.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat for the fugly Marxist witch

That was Tina Fey on SNL.

But it stuck to Sarah Palin, the intended target. Because people are stupid.

“They’re saying it isn’t conducive and it doesn’t fit the park experience.”

But heavy equipment and machinery are all part of the experience...LOL!

“A construction crew working on a bridge in Alaska’s Denali National Park was ordered…”

“Ordered”. Why do so many people think they have all of this power?
