Business Erects 35-Foot Flag Pole to Fly Christian Flag

KING, N.C. (WGHP) - A catering business located across the street from the Veterans Memorial in King where city officials recently removed the Christian flag has erected a 35-foot flag pole to fly the Christian flag.

The 35-foot flag pole was erected Monday night in front of Divine Catering on Main Street after city officials voted 3-to-1 to remove the flag from the Veterans Memorial last week following complaints and threats of lawsuits against the city.

"We just thought it would be a good way to show people what we think about the whole thing. I know its not city hall, but its as close as we could get," said Mike Marshall, owner of Divine Catering.
