US Flag Removed from Bakersfield Fire Department Uniforms

In a shocking move to many, the Bakersfield Fire Department, California have decided to remove the USA Flag logo from there uniforms. A spokesperson for the department said "It's not about patriotism, it's about consistency and uniform". Personally I thought having the flag logo on a uniform was all about patriotism, or maybe i'm just old fashioned.


A video about this subject can be viewed at this link - http://www.breitbart.tv/fire-dept-removes-american-flag-from-uniforms-against-firefighters-wishes/ It mnust be emphasised that the change of policy is against the fire personnel wishes, this is a management decision.

The move has spawned furious discussion on the United States First Responders Association Forum - view the thread at http://www.usfra.org/forum/topics/fire-dept-removes-american?commentId=916090%3AComment%3A109421#axzz1IjcpVyYF

It's sad for me to see, little signs of patriotism such as this one by one disappearing. I hope the decision can be reversed and the fire officers can display their flag logo with pride.
