“I spoke to Stepun Montgomery at the corp office in Knoxville. Please include the whole story before putting it out. This is our Official statement concerning the Flag:

After looking into this further, we found that the concerns were not with the flags themselves but with the safety of where they were placed as we need to make sure they don’t block the lines of sight of drivers pulling into our locations.’’
