PacSun Feels the Wrath of Customers, Veterans Over American Flag Shirt Displayed on Memorial Day Weekend

Retailer PacSun is feeling the wrath of customers and military veterans after a photo of a T-shirt on display in one of its stores on Memorial Day weekend went viral.

The shirt features an upside-down American flag, a symbol that U.S. Flag Code makes clear is only to be used “in instances of extreme danger to life or property.” The shirt was reportedly first spotted at the store’s location at Tanger Outlets in Foley, Alabama.

Maybe these people who are complaining are not aware that this country is in fact in a terrible state. Maybe they should wake up. Or how about not spending so much time in a mall. Did these same people twist the nipples of Express or Structure back in the day when everything had a flag print or was that not a problem. I am pretty sure the flag is not supposed to be worn as clothing.

That's not exactly why its flown. Close. But I agree with it. Our whole country has been under siege for years and is doomed under Obama. From non criminal civil forfeitures to race baiting. Yet alone allowing our borders to be used as a by pass for god knows who and knowing terrorist are using it to come in. They've set up shop in our country and not an eye batted. Our country and every single citizen is under distress.

As a Veteran they got my last dollar. When this goes viral there is no a true Veteran in this country that would shop there.

Guess those vets don't believe in the free speech they took an oath to protect. I know just as many vets who signed up to protect Americans, realized that they were instead protecting corporate interests, and would gladly wear that shirt to protest a government so careless with their lives.
