Send an American flag to the hospital employee whose flag was taken down

She had put the flag up for Memorial day. Some immigrant was offended, and complained to upper management, who knuckled under immediately, took the flag down without letting the employee know, and left it on the floor.

After Memorial day, the managers changed their minds and gave her permission to put it back up.

Let her know she's not alone in respecting the flag and showing pride in it.

Her name and work address:

Debbie McLucas
Kindred Hospital-Mansfield
1802 Highway 157 N
Mansfield, TX 76063

Some places where you can order a flag and have them send it to her:

American Flag Promotions

American Flags Express | Find Your American Flag, American Flag Set, Indoor U.S. Flags & Banners, or Stick Mounted American Flags Below! For a detailed look at quality & price comparisons, please click the "Buyer's Comparison Chart" link below!

US Flags, US Stick Flags, United Sates Flag Kits

http://www.americanflagstore.com/

American Made Flags, Flagpoles & Accessories - Flag Store USA

No, I'm not affiliated with any of those places. They popped up in a Google search I just did, and all have pretty good flags, of all sizes. And there are plenty of other vendors, search for them on the Internet.

Should also send a flag to the woman who complained. Or annoying junk mail.

Do you really think she wants people sending her flags? Even just a dozen flags? But what is she going to do with dozens or hundreds or even thousands of flags? Why not make a donation to a patriotic organization in her name, instead?

Public support for her pro-American gesture? Most of my donations do go to patriotic organizations, as I am a veteran. I get it that our great and courageous young men and women have made a sacrifice with their service.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone would do this. She surely doesn't WANT flags sent to her so maybe the point is to annoy her? I really can't tell if this is support or harassment. Is posting someones addy on a forum even kosher?

She has several sons serving in Iraq. Why not send care packages to her sons' squad instead? I think that would be a much better show of support.
