on veteran's day, and having it else that's going on in the winter will prevent him from hanging them outside, "so we're going to hang up one in our showroom to display, so everyone can see we're still proud to hang the flag and definitely fly it here." dubuque police won't say where the flags were found yet, because they were found as part of an ongoing investigation. they say that one should wrap up sometime this week. we've got you covered live from rauen also saying he plans to display them outside again, when the weather permits. a three-year-old boy is safe being found wandering the cold and snowy
