The Christian Flag will once again fly at a Veterans Memorial in King? There were mixed emotions at last night’s King City Council meeting where a lawyer from the Alliance Defense Fund answered questions about the town’s new policy regarding which flags can fly at the city’s Veteran’s Memorial. The city council has come up with a plan that would allow veterans and their families to fly a flag (or no flag) for a 7 day period. The families will be chosen via a ‘lottery’. Flags flown must be approved by the Department of Veteran Affairs. The controversy concerning the flying of the Christian flag stems from a war veteran who complained that the flag didn't belong there. The Christian flag was removed from the Park back in September. www.myfox8.com/news/wghp-story-king-101122,0,7839894.story
