Pilot Flying J posted on their site that they were founded by a war vet and they will not remove their flags. They did state that a few locations were having new flag poles installed, and one location was Amarillo, Tx
I don't know if that is their reason or not. I do know that the Well Rd Pilot does not have a flag on their flag pole. They tell you to call Corp. office when you ask about it.
I don't know if that is true but I saw on Facebook yesterday that in Amarillo, Texas, the pilot is doing just that. No American flag because of foreign visitors were feeling offended.
