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.

Standing tall! Way to go men!
I would stick flags all over that company. Tell them kiss my ass
Tellem come on up and get!
Company should go out of business for what their doing to our country, I’m sure there is other people who can run the company!
First I say Thanks to these men for standing up to the Anti American oppression by our currect administration has orchestrated . I am thankful that shortly he will be gone forever…. I never thought this country would ever hold beliefs that the Flag is bad, Cops are bad and illegal felons are good !!
My father was a cop, a veteran, a member of the legion, honor and color guard…what those men are doing to the flag is disrespectful! The flag is something to be honored and revered not hung from your filthy truck to make you feel good about yourself or prove a point. If they are so respectful of their flags and honor them so, do they have them lit at night or fly at half staff when in mourning? Do they clean them and ensure it never flies tattered. To use the flag as a symbol of some bulshit agenda is the disgrace. The company was wrong to suggest they had to come down and they backtracked but those men are defiling those flags every day.
STAND YOUR GROUND. DON’T LET MUSLIMS WIN OR OBAMA
Fly the flag it’s American soil your on
Good for you. These guys are as American as you get. Don’t expect them to bend. You guys have my respect.
I say come up here and take it down yourself
