Controversy at Denali National Park Over American Flag Ban Ahead of Memorial Day
May 26, 2024, 05:12 PM
A controversy has erupted at Denali National Park in Alaska after reports surfaced that construction workers were ordered to stop flying the American flag from their trucks and equipment. The directive allegedly came from the park's superintendent, Brooke Merrell, who stated that the flag 'detracts from the park experience.' This decision has sparked outrage, particularly as it comes just before Memorial Day. Senator Dan Sullivan has demanded an explanation from the National Park Service, expressing disbelief at the prohibition. The construction crew was working on a 475-foot-long bridge as part of a federal highway project. In response to the ban, Alaskans are planning a patriotic convoy to Denali National Park during Memorial Day weekend. The National Park Service has denied the claims, stating that no such order was given.
