LOGAN -- A Confederate flag and Gadsden flag mounted on a privately owned pickup truck in the parking lot of the U.S. Army Reserve building in Logan were removed Monday afternoon shortly after a reporter inquired about the flags.

Monday morning, the newspaper received a phone call from someone who had seen the truck bearing the Confederate flag and wanted to know whether military personnel were allowed to make “outward political/racial statements while in uniform.”

The Gadsden flag, which is a yellow field bearing a coiled snake and the words “DONT TREAD ON ME,” was not mentioned in the phone call.

During the reporter’s inquiry, the truck in question was seen in the parking lot of the Army Reserve near 1800 North and 200 East in North Logan, but an officer on the premises said they had no statement and would not say if the owner of the truck was a member of the U.S. Army. The reporter was then escorted off of the property. Several minutes later, the flags had been removed from the truck, which also displays a red, white and blue sticker of the Statue of Liberty holding a machine gun over the word “‘Merica.”
