GLENDALE HEIGHTS, Ill. (CBS) – The VFW post commander in Glendale Heights said the post’s new landlord has told them to take down their American flag.

The letter came from the property manager for the new landlord of VFW Post 2377 in Glendale Heights, telling them “flags are prohibited” by their lease, and flags is underlined.
“If that’s a sticking point – that we have to remove our flags – then she’s going to have one hell of a fight on her hands,” said VFW Post Commander Terrence House. “I think it really comes down to, they want the VFW out of there, so that they can probably rent it to someone for a higher price.”
