Bank of Stupidity!

Gaffney, South Carolina is a small town with about 14,000 residents in the upstate of South Carolina.

Lance Corporal Christopher Fowlkes is a young marine-now dead. He gave his life in Afghanistan.

Bank of America is an institution with egg on its face.

I want to make a long story short. A local branch manager removed American flags that were placed on the lawn of the bank as it was on the route of the funeral procession for Lance Corporal Fowlkes. The manager made the decision based on her understanding of Bank of Americas policy. In fairness B of A has no policy against the American flag. It is flown in most of its branches.

My point is that in order for a young lady of this mental caliber to be a branch manager of a bank of this size the bank must be hiring people that are just plain stupid. These are the type of folks that you talk to when there has been an error in your checking account. Good luck!

By the way thanks Lance Corporal Fowlkes-most of us will never forget the price you paid.
