union down flag

[DrLeftover]

DANVILLE — A week has passed since flags at three memorials and the Vermilion County War Museum were turned upside down in Danville.



It’s still up in the air as to when the union will fly right side up again.



Harold “Sparky” Songer, president of the Vermilion County War Museum, said he chose to fly the flags at the four locations in the “distress” position, exercising his freedom of speech and right of opinion in doing so.



The former prisoner of war and veteran of three wars hit a boiling point about a myriad of political issues and felt raising the flags upside-down was in essence a wake-up call.



The action has created controversy, with some feeling that Songer overstepped his bounds.



Among those disagreeing with Songer’s actions is the vice president of the Vermilion County War Museum, Harry Johnson. He said the move to turn the museum flag upside-down should have been a board decision.

Not understanding that since he's in clear violation of the flag code, why someone doesn't step in and turn the flags right side up again.

One thing I do understand is when they hold elections within 2 weeks for new Vermilion County War Museum officers, he killed his chance for remaining the President.
