Fox News: Georgia restaurant told to remove flags honoring USA, troops​

A Georgia restaurant owner has been ordered to remove the patriotic flags flying above his eatery, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

Darren Miller, owner of CJ’s Hot Dogs in McDonough, was cited on Friday by a code enforcement officer for flying flags above his restaurant that honor the military.

The restaurant, Fox 5 reports, is dedicated to police officers, firefighters and those serving in the military and Miller says it’s his right to pay tribute to each group -- both inside and outside his restaurant.

The city administrator has intervened to have codes enforcement rescind the citation. It was issued under a new city building code classifying flags as "signs." One has to wonder, what the purpose of writing the new code was, in the first place?
