KENTUCKY DISHONORS VETERANS

Opinion | Myself

[NMFXSTC]

I am sure you are all aware of the importance of the POW/MIA Flag. This flag was designed to honor the 92,000 American servicemen who are still missing since WW 1. The flag is also intended to honor the families of those 92,000 servicemen. These families and other loved ones have no place to go to stand above the remains of their loved one, profess their love for them, begin the grieving process, nor start finding closure for their loss.

The POW/MIA Flag proudly flies above of thousands of city, county, state, and federal buildings and facilities. The flag also flies over tens of thousands of businesses and private homes. The flag is displayed on motorcycles, cars and trucks across our country.

The flag has no political, religious nor racial undertones. It is, as stated, displayed to say thank you and we'll never forget to our missing brothers.

I am ashamed to say that in Kentucky some politicians have determined that the flag is offensive .

In Lexington , KY., Mayor Pam Miller had the flag removed from in front of the City Hall, after it had proudly flown there , daily, since 24 Sept. 2000. The Kentucky Vietnam Memorial is the only Vietmam Memorial, in the nation, where the POW/MIA Flag does not fly daily.

When we asked Mayor Miller why the flag was taken down she stated that some people had complained and the flag was staying down. She refused to tell us who complained and why. Shealso said she didn't care how many e-mails, phone calls or letters she received it would stay down, because she was not running for re-election and didn't care.

WE CAN NOT LET THIS HAPPEN. THE FLAG MEANS TO MUCH TO TO MANY PEOPLE. TO MANY DEDICATED PEOPLE HAVE WORKED TO HARD AND DONATED TOO MUCH OF THEIR TIME AND RESOURCES TO GET THOSE FLAGS FLYING.

We are obviously dealing with a politician who through a lack of courage and integrity has allowed herself, and her values, to be compromised by some "anti-American" special interest group. I say "anti-American" because I can not imagine any person , or group, who would be offended by this flag at anytime, let alone during this time of national crisis.

Please take the time to pass this along and to send Mayor Miller an e-mail to show your feelings.

This is just the start. If she succeeds in having our flag removed, others like her, and those who complained, will continue to disparage and disrespect our men and women in the military.

Her address is, mayor@lfucg.com

I don't know what point you are trying to make but Kentucky was never part of the Confederacy. Period. End of sentence. Semper Fi, Mike

Perhaps she isn't running for re-election but is she subject to a recall petition and election. One would think that with the current patriotic fever in the nation there would be an excellent chance she could be removed by due process. Just a thought.

Thanks for the link Yatch! I gave her a goood salvo...

Thanks for the flag [on the duplicate thread!] I sent a scathing e-mail to the wretch. I hope enough attention is drawn to her that it becomes humiliating.

[StoneColdGOP]

It is a Democrat's dream come true.

That's tell me all I need to know. Doesn't surprise me that one would find anti-Americanism there.

[glock rocks]

thanks, yatch. i think it would be more useful for me (being i'm
out in the rockies) to purchase and fly a pow/mia flag daily with old glory.

i did a google search but couldn't find anybody answering their 800 number
do you know a good source for a 2X3 flag?

If I lived in your fair city, I and a bunch of my veteran/non-veteran friends would re-fly that flag in the middle of the night and then post an armed guard of like minded Americans around that flag pole until every newspaper in this country had a reporter on hand!

Just a thought.....

Drastic times call for drastic measures....Are you up to the task?

[HEFFERNAN2]

Has anyone gotten a confirmation on this post. I personally called the mayor's office and they denied that the flag had been taken down. Semper Fi, Mike

[F.J. Mitchell]

I cannot get my mail out to mayor@1fucg.com, I don't know if they figure I am trying to be smart arse with that 1fucg or what, is that the proper address, mayor@1fucg.com ?

[Judge Parker]

Thanks for the heads-up. E-mail to scum on the way.

[F.J. Mitchell]

I typed a long E-mail to her Majesty, but my mail server has a problem with mayor@1fuch.com, I'm not kidding here, is that the proper address. I hope I haven't done all that hunting and pecking for nothing.

[HEFFERNAN2]

www.1fucg.com/mayor is the website and the email address is: mayor@1fucg.com but be advised that I have not gotten a confirmation on this post. I called the mayor's office and they denied that the flag had been taken down. Semper Fi, Mike

[ao98]

The address is "mayor@lfucg.com". Thats the letter "l" not a one.

[SLB]

I have sent an email to our limp handed governor about this.

[pocat]

Unbelievable. I'm at a loss for words.

I'll get to work on this.

[Cold Heat]

Ping recieved and bumped. This type of PC bull has been happening all over the country. In schools,public offices and buildings and in government itself. We have a little momentum now and its time to take our country back from the ( oops we offended somebody) liberal bunch. By the way, I notice this woman in a independent. One needs to re-evaluate your political handle if you are because the independent movement was created by people who voted for clinton in his first term and were too chicken to back him up in the second (for obvious reasons) I know there are a few honest independents out there but most are democrats in hiding. There, I've got that out of my system!

[HEFFERNAN2]

You are right my friend. that is the letter "l" as in Larry. Thanks for correcting me. Still no confirmation so it may be tomorrow before we know for sure if this post is correct. Semper Fi, Mike
