Recently I crash-landed in lovely little Monticello WI, with a downtown all of two blocks long. There are a pair of flags on every light pole, and then there is this. In this day & age when taking a knee is deemed disrespectful to god and country and a firing offense in some minds, seeing this right outside my little upholstery shop is particularly upsetting to me. I saw this when I was out walking my puppy, so the next time I saw the village peace officer pointed it out to him. Then today I spoke with the village clerk who told me its been like this for two months.
The village clerk declares they can do nothing about this disrespect, since a boom truck would have to be hired. I said, “I have an extension ladder that will reach that — what if I took it down?”
She said, “It’s Village Property.” If someone files a complaint, Mr Peace Officer would come have a nasty little chat with me.
As an aside for others who read my last diary, I’m feeling much better now and thanks for the input. However I still hate it here.
