"What is wrong with our Muskogee City Council that they would give our veterans such a slap in the face on May 28 at their meeting? Why are they so set against flying the POW/MIA flag? Do they not care that these men and women are the reason they can sit in their chairs and make decisions for the betterment of this city and community? Do they not care how the veterans, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandpas and grandmas feel, not knowing if their family members are still alive or gone?"
Do they not realize, this is our way of saying, “We’ll never give up and we won’t forget you? Muskogee will not forget you!”
They couldn’t have hurt the veterans or the families of those still missing in action more if they had walked up and slapped us in the face.
The Blue Star Mothers and veterans are getting signatures to petition them to fly the POW/MIA flag at the Civic Center along with the American and Oklahoma flags.
Come on, Muskogee, stand with those trying to get council to approve this and proudly say, “We won’t forget you! We will fly this flag till the day the last MIA comes home.”
