U.S. Army veteran calls battered U.S. flag over post office ‘a complete disgrace’ | Watchdog
The flag is so battered that it looks like someone hung a colorful beach towel atop the flag pole.She visited with the counter staff who were unable to help. She tried calling a supervisor, but it’s tough to get anyone on the phone at this post office, home of theShe sent the U.S. Postal Service an online comment and also talked to customer service at USPS where a staffer told her a new flag is on order.,” she said.Someone told her it’s the janitor’s fault, which to me sounds ridiculous.
I can understand how highly-troubled USPS, more than most, might want to display a symbol of distress. But this is the wrong way to do it. Neidinger received a boilerplate reply from USPS that stated, “We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.”This 75019 flag is lit 24 hours a day, so according to, it doesn’t need to go up and down every day. A lit flag can be left alone. That’s what’s happening here.
In late March, Neidinger was delighted. She saw a crane beside the flag pole. This was it! Turns out the crane was there to place materials on the roof. Only yards away from the high-flying tattered flag, the crane operators could have ended this saga. They didn’t.When Lisa Neidinger a 23-year Army veteran, saw a crane pull up near the flagpole with the battered flag, she hoped it was to replace the flag. It wasn't., I received a response from USPS spokesperson Carol L. Hunt.
She continued, “Earlier today, a new U.S. flag was hoisted at the Coppell main post office. … We sincerely apologize for this unintended error.”“I am so thrilled that flag is being given the rest it should be having, and I’m glad that another flag can fly in its place.”Mission accomplished. Lisa Neidinger's quest to remove our flag that was still there ended this week after several weeks of trying. Finally, by the twilight's last gleaming, the flag was replaced.
