Say what? US flags are supposed to fly all seconds, minutes,hours,days,weeks,months,years no matter what and Let’s kick all immgrants out of our country before they take advantage of us. There is no way to disrespect US flag and we serve our freedom and won all battles with flags being beaten and still flying forever. Take flag back up and fly it. Take this african guy home where he belongs and let his terrorists take advantage of him in his own country. Those anti american immgrants and citizens are sickos.

Looks like the hospital is practicing a little CYA, even if they have to lie to do it. The bright light in all this is that the hospital was forced to do this by a storm of phone calls and emails protesting the idiot’s actions.

Late Wednesday morning, Kindred posted on its website a statement about the incident. It reads, in part: “The disagreement was over the size of the flag and not what it symbolized. We have invited the employee to put the flag back up.”

Update III: The CBS station has updated its story again, and McLucas says the hospital’s CEO called her personally to apologize. However, she also says that no one told her that the size of the flag was the problem:”

Nope, when it comes to American Flags size doesn’t matter.

Okay, YERMOM, here goes…
Mansfield 817 473 6101
Kindred Healthcare (corporate office)
800 545 0749 & 502 596 7300

Again, don’t be rude (the person who has to answer the phone may not have approved of what happened and only has to do their job), don’t threaten, don’t intimidate. Merely ask a question.
If they answer no, remind them of the story and ask for comment and clarification.
If they answer yes remind them about Memorial Day and ask whether they are an American and ask how they could support this. Put them on defensive. No profanity, no threats. YOU are in the right. No need to stoop to their level.

Call other departments too and do the same thing.

So far, I have called five numbers. One was busy. Three directed me to the Mansfield Hospital and even gave me an address and phone number. The Mansfield number was answered by a very strained sounding woman who asked me repeatedly if I had a question after I repeated asked if this was the hospital that was offended by the American Flag.

Her question changed to ‘Is that all you have to say.”
I informed her that ’say’ implies a statement and I asked a question. She then hung up.

I am going to call again tomorrow…

I am going to make some phone calls and see what rattling some cages does. Any Veterans out there gonna step up?

I think a simple series of phone calls to EVERY Kindred Hospital that should start like this:

“Hello? Is this the hospital that finds the American flag offensive?”

Then go from there.
