Meanwhile - in Albany, N.Y. - flag troubles
I don't like this...
At KATU.com, Melica Johnson reports about it:
"At the Oaks Apartments in Albany, the management can fly their own flag advertising one and two bedroom apartments - but residents have been told they can't fly any flags at all.
Jim Clausen flies the American flag from the back of his motorcycle. He has a son in the military heading back to Iraq, and the flag - he said - is his way of showing support.
'This flag stands for all those people,' said Clausen, an Oaks Apartment resident. 'It stands for the people that can no longer stand - who died in wars. That's why I fly this flag.'
But to Oaks Apartment management, Clausen said, the American flag symbolizes problems.
