Just as I was bragging on the patriotism in central Florida. I guess this is the exception that proves the rule. The good people of Volusia County better let their elected officials know about their outrage. Shame on them.

VOLUSIA COUNTY TO FLY FLAG ON MEMORIAL DAY
A statement to the media Friday that Volusia County does not fly the American flag on closed buildings on holidays was an administrative error that was following past practice and not the current policy of the Volusia County Council.
"Memorial Day is a day to honor our fallen soldiers, and we will fly the flags at the County's administration buildings and courthouses on this holiday and all other holidays," said County Chair Frank Bruno.
The County has always flown the flag 365 days a year at open buildings including its 24 fire stations.
