CBS News reports:
The National Park Service (NPS) denied claims that park officials at Denali National Park ordered a construction crew to not fly the American flag over Memorial Day weekend. The claim appears to have originated from a report by Alaska Watchman, a conservative news outlet, which cited an anonymous construction worker.
On Friday, Republican Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan sent a letter to the NPS director demanding an explanation for the claim and an investigation into the alleged incident.
On Sunday, the NPS issued a statement denying the report, calling the claims “false.” The statement continued: “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.”

It is an outrage that on the lead-up to Memorial Day, a construction worker was prohibited from flying an American flag in a national park in Alaska. I cannot conceive of a federal law or regulation mandating this.
