Seems this has been going on for quite a while. To your question if the tax payers agreed No I would not have a problem with other flags being flown. However the communtiy of King wanted to keep the flag and they should have been able to. It is a shame that the ACLU and other bullies can make a communtiy bend. http://www.thestokes...ts_right_column The King City Council voted unanimously to leave the Christian flag in place with the numerous other flags at the Veterans Memorial at Central Park. When the issue finally came up near the end of the meeting, King City Manager John Cater

Removing a flag that was approved by the very people who paid for the memorial. I still want to know what the other 11 flags were. I do have a firm grasp on the Constitution. It is a worn copy and refer to it often.

Oh yes lets make our currency look like the communist. We don't need to change our currency. Oh didn't we already do that anyway? You know when the Monopoly man colored the money.

Still not lying. But, if that what you think....bless you little pea pickin heart. Not to large a leap of logic. Still want to see it in the Constitution. Or could it be.... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Oh yeah!!!!! Go Gators DS's team won again too. 35-0 over Hillgrove. Go lil Hornets (DII-A 12U)

Nope still anonymos. From your link The man, who wants to be referred to as "Steve," If he is indeed a Veteran (just becuse he says he is doesn't make it true) and he truly belives what he is complaining about, then why does he want to be referred to as "Steve"? That indacates that is not his name. I am sure he mentioned (again just a guess) the ACLU.

God take your soul and give you rest. Your duty done.

Touched a nerve did I? Lying is stating that you said "xyz" my statement was merely an observation. Seems to me that your argument was the Christian flag flying at a memorial partly funded by tax payers dollars. It wasn't a giant leap to comparing your objections to Arlinton and other cementaries. By the same token many people find the thing that must not be named objectionable and do not want our tax dollars to pay for it. In the OP and the TWO links I provided.... Fact 1. the memorial was approved by the voters (I presume the story does not say) I am hoping that they are a bit

Watch DS's team beat the Hillgrove Hawks (rec team) Go Hornets!!! Then College ball.

I would not be one of those people. You serve my country (and that might be the true peoblem no one personalizes it) you should have the symbol of your faith on your gravesite.

So by Bull Feces and others ALL religious symbols should be removed from ARLINGTON and any other gooberment run cemeteries. Next thing you know all monuments will have all religious symbols removed. It has nothing to do with the law it has to do with "we can't offend anyone because they will boo hoo." Yep the Pussyfcation of American is alive and well in NC. How very sad.

But, the threads are soooo much more fun.

I'm lucky if folks figure out that I'm a she not a he. And, even after telling them they still have to be reminded. I have met a few of you IRL and I try to remember your real name. Yes, I know Madea you see me all the time. What are we doing up at this hour?

Oh guys send those good vibes our way. Go lil Hornets!!!!

I presume you mean this? Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. It's not a law, it's a memorial.

I did and I made a point of it in my first post. Again where does it say in the Consitution that they could not do it?

Sounds like EVERYONE was in agreement with the project. Did you even bother to read... A. The OP link B. My two links. From link number 2. The city in, conjunction with the American Legion Post 290, raised approximately $90,000 in additional monies for the memorial through the sale of pavers. The final cost for the memorial was $290,000 and was completed November 10th, 2004. Memorial pavers may still be purchased for $150 and will be placed and dedicated each Veteran’s Day in November until the memorial is full. At construction we had 1146 tiles purchased and approximately 80

From my link above. Veteran's Memorial All Gave Some.... One of our proudest attractions is the Veteran’s Memorial that opened in 2004. The memorial is dedicated to all veterans who have served in any of the 5 branches of the armed services from World War I to the present. The memorial was constructed in the shape of a pentagon honoring the five branches – Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and the Coast Guard. Area citizens participated in the process by purchasing memorial pavers that would be placed at the memorial in remembrance of the veteran. The memorial was constructed to hou

Damn reading comprhensin. Yes, I would still object if it were another religion's flag.

No I would not have objected. Read my edited post, I added the links just for some people.

One anonymous phone call? Really, they obviously need to grow some cahonnies (sp). It appears that from the inception of this wonderful memorial the Christian Flag was/is a part of the memorial. Wonder when this caller moved to King. So how long has the flag been there? Would that caller have objected to any of the other religious flags? http://www.ci.king.nc.us/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7B8A8050BD-C1AF-4DFE-9367-D92C6FDED14D%7D http://www.ci.king.nc.us/index.asp?Type=B_EV&SEC=%7B99C7D1B1-E53D-435F-B754-33E60E417052%7D&DE=%7B32D969BA-2484-41E3-B83E-6F19AA4F21A9%7D

I passed this info to a friend. She has contacted her church that has a program to help families. Hopefully they will be able to get things worked out.

LPPT thank you, I have thought about the girl that in my view used my kid sister and although I still feel some anger it's not as bad as before. I also have thought about the girl that I went to school with and even though she was 2 years ahead I didn't understand at the time, I understand a little better now. No matter the reason in the persons head it still leaves devastation and anger for those left to deal with it. I know that prayer helps.

Let's give you a little Nudge. If you don't get with the program by 2013/14 then we will FORCE you to comply. Can everybody say Hansel and Gretal?

The trees in the fall. Asiaiac (sp) lilies in the spring. My kids playing. My daughter taking care of my grand babies. The look of elation when DS get a good hit. Both on the football and baseball field. Sunrises and sunsets. Oh and CHRISTMAS it is just......well it's just sigh.
