Sen. Sullivan Demands Answers After American Flag Reportedly Banned from Beloved National Park

Alaska’s Denali National Park is at the center of controversy after officials allegedly told construction crews not to fly the American flag. Senator Dan Sullivan of Alaska has demanded answers from the National Park Service, calling the incident an “outrage” especially on the eve of Memorial Day weekend.

The report of the flag ban originated from a local conservative publication, but details have not been independently verified. The construction crew had a 3 x 5 foot American flag on one of their vehicles, but it was reportedly removed at the request of someone at the National Park Service.

Senator Sullivan expressed his disbelief at the lack of regulations prohibiting the flying of American flags on public land, especially in national parks meant for the enjoyment of American citizens. He has called for an investigation into the incident and measures to prevent such censorship in the future.

In response to the alleged ban, Alaska residents have organized a “patriotic convoy with flags” from Fairbanks to Denali National Park as a protest. The National Park Service and Denali National Park have not yet commented on the situation.

This incident has sparked outrage and a show of patriotism from the community, highlighting the importance of honoring the American flag, especially on Memorial Day weekend.
