Veterans Are Attacking PacSun Store After They Displayed This American Flag Shirt On Memorial Day Weekend Retailer PacSun is facing some serious backlash from customers and veterans after one angry passerby posted a picture of an outrageous shirt being sold. The shirt, which was being promoted on Memorial Day, featured an upside-down American flag, despite restrictions from the United States flag code. In fact, the code claims that such a symbol should only be used in instances of extreme danger to life or property. The picture was posted as part of the companys buy one, get one 50% off sale in honor of the holiday. As a combat veteran, I refuse to step into your store ever again, one Facebook user wrote. Many others expressed similar sentiments, and PacSun was forced to issue a statement. As a retailer grounded in youth culture, PacSun values artistic and creative expression though the brands that we sell in our stores, PacSun wrote. Out of respect for those who have put their lives on the line for our country, we have decided to stop selling the licensed flag t-shirt and are removing it from our stores and website immediately. We thank the men and women in uniform for their extraordinary service. What do you think of the t-shirt? Is it completely tasteless?
