I did in ‘66! Unfortunately I have many dear friends and classmates that aren’t so lucky. They live in Southern Oregon where the Fed (especially the Courts) and State have “gutted” the principal industry. Now they can’t leave.
Wow.....so wrote them a short email and actually got a response. It’s a form letter but it is something.....
Mr. XXXXXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting me with your feedback.
We honor, support and respect what the United States flag represents. The actions and letter that were communicated certainly did not convey that. And for this, we apologize. We can see how many were offended. It was never the intent to offend or show any disrespect. The U.S. flag will remain displayed at the kiddie train and in other locations within the mall. We wholeheartedly support those who fight to allow us and everyone else to display the flag. Clackamas Town Center hosts and sponsors events every year that recognize and honor these and other heroes and will continue to do so.
Thanks,
Dennis A. Curtis, CSM

To be honest, if I had a choice, I’d rather be in Oregon than Virginia...Any day!
