A Maryland county executive office building raised its POW/MIA flag again after the public vented outrage at county officials over replacing the flag with the LGBT pride flag.
Montgomery County took down the POW/MIA flag meant to honor missing American troops to make room for the LGBT pride flag on Monday to celebrate LGBT Pride Month, according to NBC Washington. The POW/MIA flag was back flying beside the American flag at the Montgomery County Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Tuesday.
"I wasn't happy about it at all because the park is supposed to be a veterans park," Vietnam veteran John Williams said. "People died. Now they took it down and put another flag up."
