The city council in Mineral Wells, Texas is banning flags from being placed at grave sites 365 days throughout the year. The only times flags will be permitted in the cemetery are the two weeks before and after both Memorial Day and Veterans Day...

TX, wtf? Your sister state is disappoint. Time to get some tar and feathers.

I'd rather see nice new US Flags in a cemetery twice a year, versus beat up dirty torn US flags all year long. Which is probably what was happening.

Military Cemetery where my father is buried bans you from placing them the 365 days a year.

Nothing more disgraceful than thousands of flags ,neglected, blowing, etc across a cemetery.

I guess there's no reason why there could be a legitimate reason for this ruling eh arfcom? Such as beat up and tattered flags that are left out in the elements littering the graveyard and blowing everywhere?

Sometimes this place is just as bad as liberals who derive power from finding things to be offended by.
