Thanks for all your comments. One poster asked if I had signed up just for this post. Yes, because it seemed very important to me. I put the same information on TownHall and also looked up VFW email addresses in the Texas area. Thought the veterans would like to know.

Through your posts we have learned that people visited the hospital with U.S. flags and the woman was allowed to put her flag back up. Thank God for this small victory.

I'll include a link to this discussion on TownHall.

We share your anger and hurt about the removal of the flag. It is very important to clarify that a misunderstanding has been communicated through the media. The supervisor that is described in the media is actually the co-worker of Ms. McLucas and not Ms. McLucas's immediate supervisor. The incident was two nursing supervisors who got into a dispute.

It was wrong and disrespectful and as soon as we learned about it, we took immediate action to correct the situation. The flag is now proudly displayed once again, and we apologize to all who were equally offended by this unpatriotic action, including the owner of the flag. We have reprimanded the employee and let them know we don't tolerate behavior inconsistent with our Company's values.
