Previously, we reported on an Alaskan national park that allegedly banned the American flag on its premises. Now, Denali National Park is breaking its silence. It said that the incident in question was pure fabrication and that officials never denied an American flag on its premises.

In a
Facebook post, Denali National Park shared its side of the story. The park also says that it has the American flag at numerous locations on the park. And welcome the flying of the American flag for Memorial Day.In a statement, the park said, "Reports that a National Park Service (NPS) official ordered the removal of an American flag from a Denali bridge construction worker's vehicle at Denali National Park are false. At no time did an NPS official seek to ban the American flag from the project site or associated vehicles. The NPS neither administers the bridge project contract, nor has the authority to enforce terms or policies related to the contract or contractors performing the work. The American flag can be seen at various locations within Denali National Park - at park facilities and campsites, on public and private vehicles, and at employee residences - and we welcome its display this Memorial Day weekend and every day."
