Camping World in North Carolina faces fines for hanging American flag due to its size

WASHINGTON (SBG) -- A Camping World location in Statesville, North Carolina is embroiled in a major controversy after being told by the city to remove their American flag due to its size.

Statesville, North Carolina is suing Camping World for allegedly violating regulations that state a flag which is 100 feet from the highway can't be more than 25 feet x 40 feet, WSOC reports. The news outlet also says that according to a lawsuit, the city gave Camping World an exemption to the rule. But the exemption wasn't the size Camping World desired.

"This is about more than just the flag. This is about our Veterans, Military, and the men and women that have sacrificed for this great country. They are the reason we fly the flag and they are the reason we will NOT take it down!" Camping World said in a Facebook postthat has been shared over 5,000 times.
