Home Despot part 2

Dear Raju,

Over the past few weeks, since our last correspondence, I have been waiting for the manager of your Mill Basin store to make good on their promise of fixing the flags. I noticed that the following week one of the flags had been removed but the other, more pathetic one had remained. I have even witnessed workers replacing the light-bulbs in the "Home Depot" sign with a lift when they could have easily removed or fixed the flag. Are the light bulbs in your store signs more important that the proper display of our nations' flag?

I have attached photos of the flag from Mar 6th, 9th, and 15th for your use.

Best regards,

Mr. Prince

Oh my Lamby.

Theo is developing into quite the cook these days. For those of you that don't know he started a bake club our last year in Seattle because he wanted to learn how to bake better...which he is. And recently since I have been side-lined with school work he has been stepping it up in the kitchen beyond baking.

Last Saturday we had some of his friends from work over for dinner and cribbage and he made lamb stew. He's really cute when he cooks because he's a little unsure of his skills still but he's set on doing it so he just pushes forward. Even when he encounters set-backs, like chopping onions, which make his eyes water something fierce, he dons his safety glasses and keeps right on going. He's getting pretty serious about his cooking and I am so proud of him!

Proud to be an American... corporation.

Comments: Dear Home Depot,

While walking past one of your stores today, I was very disheartened by
the lack of respect shown to the American Flag. At your Mill Basin store
in Brooklyn, NY, the flags on either side of the Home Depot sign above
the front of your store are not properly secured and downright pathetic
looking. One flag was fluttering upward in the wind by a single
connection yearning to be free and the other was wrapped around the base
of the pole and draped against the storefront. I walk by your store at
least once a week and the flags have been in poor shape for quite
awhile.

My hope is that you have a policy on maintaining the American Flags or
that you remove them as at this store a true lack of respect has been
shown. I have photos of the flags if you'd care to see them.

Best regards,

Theo Prince

Hello Rucha,

I'm confused as to what you need to research. Why do you need my address
and phone # before you even consider addressing the problems I witnessed
with your Mill Basin store?

Attached (for your research team) are two photos of the
flags flying at the Home Depot in Brooklyn, NY on Avenue U at about 59th
Street (King's Plaza area).

Best regards,

Mr. Prince
