How insult must it be for veterans of Vietnam must it be to have their POW/MIA flags replaced? It’s not like there is anything wrong with the rainbow pride flag, but must Montgomery County in Maryland really just get rid of the POW-MIA flags and put up rainbow pride flags instead? Some people in this left wing shithole county weren’t exactly appreciative of the removal of the POW-MIA flags. If Montgomery COunty, Maryland wants to celebrate gay and lesbian pride month with the rainbow flag, why not just add it as another flag instead of getting rid of the POA-MIA flag? The rainbow pride flag isn’t the insult, the removing of the POW-MIA is the big insult here.

For the first time ever, a rainbow pride flag flew outside a Maryland county’s executive office building, but the flag it replaced had people raising objections.
Montgomery County Council member Evan Glass, the council’s first LGBTQ member, helped celebrate the raising of the pride flag Monday morning at Veterans Memorial Plaza in Rockville.
But Vietnam veteran John “Bill” Williams said he’s upset the flag that honored soldiers still missing was taken down.
“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,” Williams said.
The POW/MIA flag was replaced by the LGBTQ pride flag for the month of June, pride month.
“I wasn’t happy about it at all because the park is supposed to be a veterans park,” Williams said. “People died. Now they took it down and put another flag up.”
