Oh, Say Can You See?

A group of citizens in Orcutt, California, has been raising money to erect a flagpole and monument to the U.S. armed forces on a state right of way between a highway and a park-and-ride parking lot. But the state Department of Transportation is fighting the effort. Officials say they fear that if they allow the U.S. flag to fly on property they control they will have to allow all other types of flags.
