Park owner Clint Brown told Aue to return to work, and when the military veteran refused he let him go. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe owner, who happened to be out there at that time, told us \u2013 or me in particular \u2013 to continue to scan tickets. And I kind of just took my hat off, put it over my chest, and offered him the scanner so he could continue to scan the tickets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aue says that Brown later fired him for the infraction, but the park owner said that\u2019s not exactly what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe like the guy,\u201d said Brown, claiming he never fired Aue but offered to relocate him to a less crowded gate. \u201cWe like the employee. We just try to make everybody happy and sometimes that is hard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brown, who is also a former veteran, says he understands where Aue is coming from. However, in order to maintain safety, crowds must continue to be ushered in to the stadium, even during the national anthem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can you be unhappy with somebody who takes a stand on wanting to salute the flag?\u201d said Brown. \u201cAs a former military guy, I think that is exactly what he should be doing, but the other side of the coin is the best business practice and the appropriate guideline for a business like ours to get a large crowd through a small hole pregame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aue refuses to return to the stadium and urges the corporation to change their policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to see somebody use some common sense and show a little bit more respect for what the flag and the national anthem stand for,\u201d said Aue.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>The following was a submission from freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 69-year-old veteran was fired from Kentucky\u2019s Florence Freedom Stadium after the park\u2019s owner spotted him delay his duties as the national anthem played.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":42112,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,326,25,241,240],"tags":[132],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42110","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-brent","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-rapid-fire","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Veteran Fired from Freedom Stadium For Saluting During National Anthem<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A 69-year-old veteran was fired from Kentucky\u2019s Florence Freedom Stadium after the park\u2019s owner spotted him delay his duties as the national anthem played.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/veteran-fired-from-freedom-stadium-for-saluting-during-national-anthem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Veteran Fired from Freedom Stadium For Saluting During National Anthem\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A 69-year-old veteran was fired from Kentucky\u2019s Florence Freedom Stadium after the park\u2019s owner spotted him delay his duties as the national anthem played.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/veteran-fired-from-freedom-stadium-for-saluting-during-national-anthem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-09-01T06:31:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-19T00:02:10+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Veteran-Kentucy.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
