Some failed to lower flags
The number of flags that were not at half-staff Wednesday in recognition of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day made Traci Brooks sick to her stomach.
"I feel embarrassed and disgusted because we need to support our military families," she said. "If I was a veteran who served in Pearl Harbor, I would feel very, very hurt after everything I had done for my country."
As Brooks was driving in the morning, she noticed several businesses, including banks, that had not followed proper protocol and had left their flags at the tops of their poles.
"I even went by a post office, in North Idaho, and theirs wasn't lowered, so I was like, 'Holy crud," she said. "I went in and talked to them and said, 'Hey, lower your flag'"/Devin Heilman, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
