City Council to take up appeal by ACLU, vets to allow permit for 120,000 flags on Memorial Day to honor U.S. military, Iraqi civilians killed

SACRAMENTO – The Sacramento City Council has quickly added to its agenda Tuesday (beginning at 2 p.m.) the question of permitting – the city attorney quashed the permit last week – a special Memorial Day display of 120,000 flags to commemorate the deaths of U.S. troops, and Iraqi civilians in the war in Iraq.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in Sacramento and a veterans group will hold a MEDIA AVAILABILITY TUESDAY at 1:45 p.m. shortly before the 2 p.m. meeting at City Hall (915 I Street).
