DENTON, Texas The Stars and Stripes go hand-in-hand with Memorial Day. But when a truck driver saw a truck stop that wasn't flying the American flag, he took matters into his own hands.
He put up a American flag himself. The problem is, it didn't stay up for long.
David Ray Thornburg couldn't understand why the Travel Centers of America truck stop off Interstate 35 in Denton wasn't displaying Old Glory especially on Memorial Day.
So he grabbed his video camera and went to Walmart. The store donated a flag. Thornburg went back to the truck stop, climbed up the pole and put up the flag.
His YouTube video tells the rest of the story. He explains that just after he put the flag up, truck stop employees took it down.
Thornburg called it a slap in the face.

When I see someone who just signed up being so rude, so crude, and attacking people they don’t even know as though they are enemies, I can’t help but think that they have been here before under a different name.
The minute this country voluntarily elected a Marxist to the Presidency, Worley's song became a historical footnote about a country that no longer exists. Wagner didn't intend his music as a background for Hitler's Germany either.
I'm a frog that knows the water temp.
