They Told This Firefighter To Take Down His Flag, Youre Gonna Love What He Did Instead In honor of the men and women who lost their lives in the September 11th attack, firefighter Zach Zechman decided to hang the American flag from his second story townhouse window at Alvernia University. This act backfired when Zechman and his roommates were asked to take their flag down after it had been hanging only for a few hours. When the resident assistants showed up at their door, they cited a rule prohibited objects from hanging in windows. The rule is printed in the campus student handbook. According to Carey Manzolillo, the Associate Director of Communications for Alvernia University, confirmed that the policy is violated by flags and other hangings. Although Zechman was aware of the process, Zechman stated that he hoped it would be different for a day like today. Although the day has passed, he is not giving up without a fight. His goal is to seek a policy change so that in the future, September 11 can be a day of remembrance on campus. What do you think? Do you support Zechman?
