veterans

Lowe's and Big Lots have discontinued sales of a red, white, and blue welcome mat which features stars and stripes. John F. Kelly, a Vietnam War veteran in Missouri, complained that the doormat is disrespectful to flag that he and others fought to to defend.

Several veterans aren't happy with one city in Florida over a flag that flew over democratic headquarters. The flag has a picture of President Obama's face on it instead of the stars and many say it's absolutely disrespectful.

A video making its way around the Internet is getting a lot of hits, but generating a ton of negative publicity. The "individual" in this clip claims he dresses up in military attire, in an attempt to get free drinks and free food. Nice guy, huh? Feel free to express your disgust in the comments section, but as always we ask that you keep it clean.

If you have served honorably in the Armed Services, General Motors may be looking for you. GM will sponsor a job fair for veterans at the Mott Community College Regional Technology Center on Friday, September 23 from 10-2 in Room 1301.
