May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Bank of America Refuses to Fly Flag in Honor of Fallen Soldier

Lance Cpl. Christopher Fowlkes was killed in Afghanistan. He was from the town of Gaffney, SC, and there was a parade in honor of him. There was a Bank of America on the route and when a woman wanted to put flags on their lawn they said no. It wasn't the local manager, it was a corporate rule. To not fly the American Flag? To not honor a fallen soldier? The flags were removed from the B of A lawn.

The Cherokee County Council voted 5 to 1 to withdraw county money from B of A. Good for them. It's a small amount, a few hundred thousand. What kind of policy denies the recognition of the dead, that got that way serving this country. I'd fire the knuckleheads. Not only that, but they should be shunned.

Bank of America?
