GOPDD: One of America’s Favorite Restaurant Tells Veterans to Remove American Flag and Military Patches or Get the Hell Out- Boycott Now!

Mar 4, 2017 by Harry Hibbs

American Legion officers were told that they needed to remove their jackets at a Dave & Buster’s in Michigan because it showed evidence of gang affiliation. Yep, you read that correctly, apparently, the American flag is now being equated to the Hell’s Angels.
The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization. Focusing on service to veterans, servicemen and communities, the Legion evolved from a group of war-weary veterans of World War I into one of the most influential nonprofit groups in the United States. Membership swiftly grew to over 1 million, and local posts sprang up across the country. Today, membership stands at over 2.4 million in 14,000 posts worldwide. The posts are organized into 55 departments: one each for the 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico and the Philippines.
