Officials at Denali National Park in Alaska are facing criticism after allegedly ordering construction crews to remove an American flag from their vehicle. Senator Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, sent a letter to National Park Service Director Charles Sams demanding an explanation for the actions, calling it an “outrage” and a violation of the spirit of Memorial Day.
The United States flag has been a powerful symbol in fashion, used to express both patriotism and protest. Designers have used the flag in a variety of ways, from traditional preppy looks to more experimental and artistic creations. The flag’s red, white, and blue colors and stars and stripes have been incorporated into a wide range of clothing and accessories, making it a versatile and iconic symbol.
Chicago Cubs reliever Luke Little was required to change his glove before entering Wednesday night’s game against the Houston Astros due to an American flag patch on his glove. The umpires cited MLB regulations prohibiting white on pitchers’ gloves, deeming the flag a potential distraction to batters. Despite having to break in a new glove mid-game, Little retired both batters he faced and expressed pride in his country following the victory.
