In Their Best Interest


Last time I checked, the United States of America is represented by the American flag. That is why this story is so crazy. The Bank of America has angered some customers and they are responding by closing their accounts because of this story. A women in S. C. was honoring her next door neighbor, a Marine, who was recently killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb. She was planting American Flags along the route that the casket would follow. When she put a flag in front of Bank of America, the manager came out and pulled it down. The bank manager said that their corporate policy was not to fly American Flags because it might offend some customers. But wait, isn't your bank is called Bank of America? I could see how flying another countries flag might offend customers, but an American Flag? Of course, the corporate people are now falling all over themselves apologizing and have changed their policy. I think everyone should go out tonight and plant an American flag on their local Bank of America property.
