The order to remove Old Glory from work trucks or be terminated has created an army of iron-workers and riggers who will not comply. Industrial Piping Incorporated is a subcontractor for a plant expansion at CF Industries fertilizer plant in Louisiana. The crew has been working to complete the project since December 7, 2016, rolling onto the job each day with flags waving in the backs of their trucks. They are hard working Americans just doing their jobs.
Nothing had ever been said until that fateful day and then the gloves came off. Lose the flag or lose your job. The crew was furious and refused the order and showed up to work on Friday, flying their flags and prepared to lose their jobs. The crew, Jarome Hatch, Jim Lovel, Trevor Lewis, Robert Griffiths, Cody Johnson and Daryl McEntyre had the support of the community who got involved and planted American Flags in front of the CF Industry offices.

Thank you iron workers
In America NO one can tell you to remove a reasonable Patriotic display of the US Flag. Just no reason even to think one could even ask.
TELL THEM TO GO TO HELL !!!
stand your ground do not give up on your fight
Thank you !! I am so disgusted with the lack of patriotism in this country it is nice to see people standing up to these bullies who dishonor the Men and Women who have given their freedom’s for them to disrespect Our Flag and our Military. They tend to forget how many people died in Honor of our Flag and this Great Country. They don’t get the Flag and National Anthem have nothing to do with politics but everything to do with Freedom and those willing to give their lives for it. I would like to tell you first Thank you for standing up for our Flag and every Soldier in our Military.
These AMERICANS are patriots, the company that ordered this abomination need boycotting, no Iron workers should take a job with them ever again. If the job isn’t completed, oh well,it’s their fault.
Right on
Yay, awesome!
Stand your ground. It’s worth fighting for
We better have a lot of fight in us, our children and grandchildren are depending on us!
