Subj: Fwd: do not buy this item from Canino

OMG  What ashame.  Anything for a sale.  In my opinion the sale of these mats is a disgrace to this country.  What next.  They already want God out of the world now insult the vets!!!!!!!!and US

 

 

 

 

Spread the word, Do Not Buy These Doormats!!!

 

 

 

 

To all Concerned,

 

Lowe's is now selling  American Flag doormats. As 4th of July is approaching, many  stores are trying to increase their profits. Needless to say, the selling of  American Flag doormats has many Veterans upset. Veterans feel that they fought  for the American Flag, many losing their lives, and many permanently injured for  the freedoms that the American Flag represents, yet Lowe's is now selling the American Flag as a doormat, "something to be walked on, and something to wipe your feet on", as one veteran put it. "Are they slapping our faces or what",  asked another veteran.

 

The V.F.W, the American Legion, and several other organizations was immediately contacted. A veteran with 33 years in the U.S.  Navy, had went to Lowe's to buy $300.00 worth of lumber to build a fence, but  when he saw the American Flag doormat, he flipped out, made Lowe's take back the lumber and refund his money. Several others walked out of the store.

 

At the Lowe's in N. Charleston, SC, the manager took all the doormats off of display because of complaints and called Lowe's headquarters to report the consumer's and veterans complaints.

 

Those who grew up respecting the American Flag, and those who fought to defend it, would never let the American  Flag touch the ground, much less use it as a doormat, to walk on or wipe your feet on it!

 

Most likely these doormats are made in China, but they are  distributed by:

 

Mohawk Home

3032 Sugar Valley Rd., NW

Sugar Valley,  Georgia 30746

 

Please pass this on to as many people you can. Some of us still respect and love America and our Flag, and what it represent.
