What the Hell is going on in this country! More and more it seems to be rules against being patriotic. Usually in the name of possibly offending someone. It's our country. Some of us here on the POA fought for it and many others also fought or died for it. If you don't like our patriotism then get the Hell out. Enough is enough. To quote a movie I am mad as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore! JMO
The firefighters say they were suspended for refusing to remove the flag stickers after their fire chief implemented a ban on all stickers By Rob Elgas
The Maywood firefighters say they were ordered to go home for refusing to remove stickers of American flags after their fire chief implemented a ban on all stickers.
Some said the stickers were sentimental.
Flowers said he was ordered to take a sticker off his locker or he would face discipline. "We are the first African-American father and son on the Maywood Fire Department," Flowers said. "It has sentimental value."
Don Albanese agreed to remove several stickers, including a memorial flag from his helmet, but kept an American flag on his locker. "I said, 'You know what? The one thing I won't do is I'm not going to remove the flag on my locker,'" he said. "No one sees it but us. We're all brothers here." The firefighters said they were shocked to hear they couldn't keep their patriotic stickers.
Evergito Herrera came to the U.S. from Cuba and said he's been with the department for 25 years. He said American pride is something he cherishes. The Maywood fire chief did not respond to NBC Chicago's request for comment Tuesday. The firefighters say they plan to meet with the chief Wednesday.
