Driving through Rio Rancho today I was shocked mad and sad at the disrespect I saw lining hwy 528. Every light pole for about 3 miles has 2 US flags every single flag was beyond torn. Flags have always flown on these light poles ever since I can remember. I managed to get a pic. I apologize to all who have served and are serving. I have contacted local news about this as I could not post it to the city of Rio Rancho's Facebook page. Email them share it etc... there's zero excuse for this

Worse then not having one up.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Were they vandalized or just torn from the wind/lack of upkeep? Very sad and disrespectful either way.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

I is odd, city can find money for everything else. This show what kind of city this is. IF you can not maintain a flag take it down. What city was this, lets send them a e-mail and let them know what we think of them. I can not see it on the banners.
