A business owner in Reno gets a little education the hard way.

Check the video if you can.

A few years ago National Beef had some type of celebration, I'm thinking it was Mexico's Independence Day, anyway the activity occured at the Round Up arena. As the fesitivities began two flags were brought by horse back into the arena. The mexican flag first then Old Glory. The National Anthem for Mexico was played and then that was it. At the time I was employed at National Beef, I turned and walked out. I was furious. I still get upset thinking of it.

I brought this up with plant management and they assured me that it would never happen again.

These type of incidents need to be addressed otherwise younger people will become desensitized and will begin to expect this as the norm.

Highwayman,

Thanks for bringing this up!!!

I'd say that was handled appropriately.

Hey look! Jim Brossard is in the news again!

Quote:
Veterans who served on the U.S.S. Intrepid aircraft carrier presented Jim Brossard with a certificate and flag for cutting down a Mexican flag that was flying over a U.S. flag at a Reno bar.

“To fly the American flag underneath the Mexican flag, it just defies everything,” said Wayne Erven, West Coast representative of the U.S.S. Intrepid Association Inc. “Our flag goes on top. That’s the honor we give our flag.”

Erven, of Pleasanton Calif., gave Brossard the appreciation Tuesday at the James D. Hoff Peace Officer Memorial in Idlewild Park.

“To go and pull that down, you’ve got more guts than brains maybe,” Erven told Brossard.

I don't have the Hoooah ones but I have dozens of cool Army mousepads. If anyone wants one or several hit me up on a PM and I'll either bring you one or you can come by and get one/several.
