Why are there desecrated flags alongside the American flags on the lawn by the town hall? This is disrespectful for the men and women who died for the red white and blue flag, not any other flag. It is outrageous and only American flags should be flown especially on Memorial Day. Shame on whoever thought this was appropriate. If you’re confused read Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1. Do better, Cornelius.
