flags

If you've noticed flags in your community flying at half-staff, it's because the President of the United States has ordered them to.

Flags in Texas communities are being flown at half-staff after President Trump signed an executive order.

Some in a Lafayette neighborhood are asking how and why flags are flying freely while attached to utility poles.

They don't even need your permission to put it there either.

Lafayette is a very unique place. It's one of the many reasons I chose to move here so many years ago. Lately, I've had a few people ask me about the "Flag House" in Lafayette on the Thruway. I'm not certain as to what the motivation might be behind it all, but I'm all for it.

The comments come after controversy surrounding a gay pride flag that was flown at Girard Park in Lafayette shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act.
