VA Removes 22 Arizona Tribal Nation Flags from Its Hospital in Phoenix

On March 18, the flags of Arizona’s 22 tribal nations were removed from the Carl. T. Hayden VA Medical Center in central Phoenix and returned back to the Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian Community. This has sparked outrage among the Tribes in Arizona.

This is part of a new flag policy implemented by the Department of Veteran Affairs that limits the display of flags at VA facilities. The policy is “intended to establish consistency across the department and aligns with longstanding Department of Defense guidelines,” the VA stated in a news release.

Only the U.S. flag, flags of U.S. states and territories, military service flags, VA flags and official flags of U.S. agencies, and flags representing prisoners of war/missing in action (POW/MIA), Senior Executive Service (SES), military command units and burial flags for honoring Veterans and reservists are permitted.

Fort Knox still needs an audit though.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says there aren't any plans to visit Kentucky and an annual audit reveals all of the gold supply remains at the base.

"There was a report Sept. 30, 2024," he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. "All the gold is there. Any U.S. senator who wants to come and visit it can arrange a visit through our office."
