Anyone living in the Fox Valley may be familiar with the controversy of the Packers lowering the Lambeau Field flag to half-staff in honor of the late Packer defensive star Reggie White. I personally have nothing against them flying the flag at half-staff in honor of Reggie White, and I find it ironic that the same veterans who fought for our freedom would deny freedom of expression on private property.

I wouldn’t find it appropriate to fly at half-staff on public property, and find it disappointing we haven’t done it more to commemorate the troops from Wisconsin who have fallen. However, I think removing one’s right to free speech on private property is a bigger travesty than flying the flag at half-staff in memory of a football player at a football stadium.
