U.S. Flag Stolen From Rockland Memorial; Replaced with 'Trump Train' The United States flag which was stolen was city property, and a replacement could cost as much as $1,000 or more.

Veteran & American Legion Post 1 member Dave Soulin said replacing the US flag from that memorial flagpole with one supporting a politician was β€œso insulting not just to every veteran β€” it was insulting to every American.”

Today more than 400 veterans and veteran allies gathered in Augusta to support Maine's huge veteran population. They gathered to protest DOGE cuts to veteran services made by an unelected South African billionaire and a president who actively avoided the draft. Veterans Count! Veterans vote!
