I just walked past the City Government building here in Lexington, and there were four flags flying.

The American Flag (Thank goodness it was on top)
The LFUCG (local government) Flag
A Tree City USA flag from the Arbor Day Foundation (fitting)
Some insignificant flag that I could not make out.

I'm not sure about the Vietnam Memorial, but that is what flies above the local government offices, and MIA/POW is definitely not there.
Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

I have contacted my Marine buddies and they are contacting our brothers in KY. From what I understand and this is second hand since I am in CA but this has been going on in KY for four years. I will make some more calls but the mayor's office in Lexington obviously lied to me yesterday when I called them and they said that the POW/MIA flag had not been taken down. I hope our KY FReepers are alerted and putting pressure on the powers that be since this is their state and their representatives who are responsible... Semper Fi, Mike
