Construction Crew in Denali National Park forced to remove American flags! 😳

[Missourian]

OP summary: Construction crews on a federal contract, repairing an American bridge on a federal road in an American national park were required by a federal employee to REMOVE American flags from their trucks and construction equipment.

"According to the contractor, Denali National Park Superintendent Brooke Merrell contacted the man overseeing the federal highways project, claiming there had been complaints about the U.S. flags, and notifying him that bridge workers must stop flying the stars and strips from their vehicles because it detracts from the “park experience.”

“The trucks are flying these American flags, about a foot atop the trucks, about three-foot by four-foot flags, and they said they don’t want this,” the contractor explained. “They’re saying it isn’t conducive and it doesn’t fit the park experience.”

Wonder what kind of anti-American Left Wing bigot was offended by the American flag?
Fly your flag on Memorial Day, make the dumb liberal bigots grind their teeth.

Maybe the US Flag should be posted at the doorway to every park headquarters, and every US National Park employee passing into the building should be required to salute it when passing. Any that are unwilling, should be replaced.

Maybe they wanted Hamas flag instead.

It talks about something similar further down in the article...

"The park does, however, fly the U.S. flag from several stations inside the park, and at the visitors’ center.

Additionally, the National Park Service actively promotes the flying of other flags, which many would consider controversial.

In fact, the official website of the National Park Service has an entire page dedicated to honoring a whole host of LGBTQ+ flags, including pictures of them on display at national parks in the Lower-48."

Once they started allowing lgbt flags, then they must allow other flags also.
It is a mess.
Just allow the American flag.

What they need is to counsel that park superintendent, have her retract her instructions to the contractors hired by the US Government, to do work for the US Government.

She should tell the complainers, it is not our policy to hire Anti-American contract help. If that is unsatisfactory, National Parks may not, be for you, and you should simply stay with the commercial amusement parks, instead, if they are more responsive and accepting of Anti-American sentiments. Have a nice day. Please do not litter on your way out of Dinali National Park.

I dont see management caring a lot about this,, it most likely came from higher up anyway,,

it falls on the people to correct the government,,

. Fuck that shit

I couldn't agree more Mr Missouri

I've worked construction going on 4 decades

we built this country, and we're proud of it

many of my blue collar brothers sport our flag, or tat's like my American eagle

we'd send any gov official walking onto one of our jobs crying should they have issue with any of it

Nice to see this is being addressed.

She needs to have an American Flag tattooed on her ass or forehead.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

First as it was pointed out the park has numerous flags flown throughout the park. Claiming the park doesn’t allow flags just isn’t true. Second whenever I go to the park it is to spend time in nature not see construction trucks. Having a flag on top, while well intended, is also a beacon drawing attention to the vehicles one goes to a park to get away from.

There is no need to grab the climbing gear it’s just a ant hill

She needs to get a park ranger job in Russia and see how that works out for her.

You do understand roads and bridges in national parks need repaired from time to time?

 

[Lord-Humungus]

The roads are able to be repaired without drawing extra attention to the vehicles doing it. I can see the construction companies point and them just intending to show some patriotic pride.
Hell paved and all…
I can also understand a desire for the vehicles having the least impact on the scenery as possible. At the end of the day I just don’t see this as a huge issue

 

[Papageorgio]

Totally moronic what is offensive about the American flag? Do the ranger’s offices fly the American flag? Not seeing what her issue is.
