| Maryland Government Building Replaces POW/MIA Flag With LGBT Flag |
| 2019-06-15 |
| [DAILYCALLER] The Montgomery County Council faced backlash after a flag honoring America’s missing soldiers was replaced with a rainbow gay pride flag to celebrate LGBT Pride Month. Led by the county’s first ever LGBT council member Evan Glass, the POW/MIA flag was removed from its flagstaff outside the Maryland county’s executive office building Monday morning, reported NBC Washington. The move drew immediate criticism. "When I was in Vietnam, I was there six days before two guys were missing in action, and they still haven’t found their bodies," John "Bill" Williams, a Vietnam veteran, said to the television station. The POW/MIA flag is officially recognized by the U.S. Congress "as the symbol of our Nation’s concern and commitment to resolving as fully as possible the fates of Americans still prisoner, missing and unaccounted for in Southeast Asia, thus ending the uncertainty for their families and the Nation." It consists of a silhouette of a prisoner of war (POW) with the words "You Are Not Forgotten." "I wasn’t happy about it at all because the park is supposed to be a veterans park," he continued. "People died. Now they took it down and put another flag up." |

| #5 It’s not something to be ashamed of but it’s not something to be proud of either. It just is. |

| #4 I was to give a talk at a college recently. We got to talking about the whole LGBT thing in India. There was some pride thing organized by the media to unite parents and their gay offspring. I simply said in crude terms, "Pride. What pride ? A parent can be proud if the son is a soldier fighting for the nation. A man or woman, or even a eunuch can proudly rest in the fact if they have achieved something tangible, consequential in life. Or if you've contributed even one thing to the universe. But what are these parents proud of ? Proud that their sons like it up the ass ?" My language was even cruder. Needless to say I shant be invited again. |

| #3 My grandson has promised me that when I peg out, if anyone ever puts a rainbow flag over my grave he will destroy the marker and unmark my grave, so's to avoid further desecration. |
