From TA's President: On May 23, all of our location mgrs were reminded to fly the American flag on Memorial Day. We also distributed over 75,000 American flag decals to customers at our locations in recognition of veterans. Obviously, our franchisee-operated site in Denton, TX, failed to comply. For that, we sincerely apologize. Despite the dangers associated with a customer climbing a pole, we applaud the actions of the driver in reminding us of the sacrifices made by service men and women.

Never mind, it didn’t occur to me that they would have a Facebook page, the quote is there, thanks.


The Facebook statement by TravelCenters of America

To everyone who commented on the TA Denton site taking the flag, we wanted to let you know that on May 23, all of our location managers were sent a reminder to fly the American flag on Memorial Day. As a company, we also distributed over 75,000 American flag window decals to customers at our locations in recognition of our active and veteran service men and women. Obviously, our franchisee-operated site in Denton, TX, failed to comply with that policy. For that, we sincerely apologize.

Despite the dangers associated with a customer climbing a pole, we applaud the actions of the driver inasmuch as he reminded all of us that issuing a policy is no substitute for action. It was a poignant reminder of the efforts and sacrifices made by service men and women; we will redouble our efforts to ensure this failure will not occur again.

Since the video was released, the Denton site operator has taken down the broken flag pole to have it repaired. It is scheduled to go back up soon, and they will have a flag flying.

Thank you all very much for showing this passionate support of all of our veterans!
