I have no connection to the military other than supporting the troops, visiting
Omaha
Beach in France, having two grandfathers in WWII, and an Uncle who served in
Vietnam. One grandfather was in the navy, my second flew with ”The Screaming Eagles”, and my Uncle was Army. So flying the POW/MIA Flag should be allowed to hang proudly anywhere, including Federal, State, County, Town facilities, and private properties.
 
I do not know the laws of flying flags that supports prisoners of war and/or troops missing in action, but Senator McCain might have something to say about people who refuse to support the troops. I do not support the War in
Iraq, but this flag stands for troops that fought in wars from WWII to the present and I support the flying of this flag anywhere.
 
Not allowing this flag to fly freely under the American Flag is as bad as arguing that the Holocaust never happened or kicking “The Vietnam Memorial” out of public parks. Sadly, there is a Highway Town Barn in a small community in

Lewis
County that is refusing to fly the POW/MIA Flag. The decision was made by this Town’s Highway Supervisor.
 
This flag had flown at this Town Barn in the previous years, but ripped. Now a local resident offered a new flag to show support for those missing in action or being held as prisoners of war. Since the POW?MIA Flag had flown for many years previously, in the least it should be grandfathered-in. Nobody in their right mind should deny the POW/MIA Flag to fly anywhere publicly or privately.
 
People from almost every race and religious background have served in either World War II,
Korean War, Vietnam War, or Iraq War along with many other deployments in the name of FREEDOM. The American Flag stands for freedom and the POW/MIA Flag stands for those who fought or are fighting to protect our freedoms, but still have not returned to live free. Let the POW/MIA Flag fly, because it’s all about Honoring America and Americans troops illegally imprisoned or missing on foreign soils.
