Ribbons for Soldiers Banned on the Litchfield Green | NBC Connecticut
The yellow ribbon controversy in Litchfield is far from over. Even though the ribbons were banned from the town green several months ago, people keep putting them up.
“I’m wondering if anyone really dares to remove them at this point. I’m glad to see they are still there, but I’m confused why there is controversy to begin with,” said Cindy McPhee, of Litchfield.
On Tuesday night, the board that voted to remove them scheduled a public hearing to figure out a more permanent show of support.
One of the board members is a Vietnam veteran, while at least 2 others are married to veterans. They said their job is to listen to the people requests at a public hearing and maintain the appearance of the town green.
“I feel really hurt sitting on the board and being called a communist when I whole heartedly support the troops,” said Peter Gay, a board member and veteran.

The mayor of Berkeley and a member of the Berkeley City Council are also veterans but that doesn't stop them from showing their hatred for this country and it's military so stop using your military service as a shield for your actions.

Let me guess: they're all "liberals" too?
