This startled me because under our military code regarding flying of all national flags, only the national flag, the Stars and Stripes and any state flag can be flown on same flag pole. For those of us who fought under the Stars and Stripes, that flag means a lot to thousands of veterans here in Kailua-Kona. Something should be printed to make the people in that fast food restaurant realize they are giving all the veterans a slap in the face by flaunting that red flag. They are likely to lose a lot of business when all the men who fought in the war see how our national flag is being treated. The restaurant can put up another flag pole and put their red flag on that.
