Veterans Organization Commander Calls TIME Magazines Cover “Inexcusable”

May 12th, 2008 · No Comments

The National Commander of AMVETS, John “JP” Brown III sent an letter to TIME Magazines over his disapproval of its recent Aprils edition. The cover is a doctored photo of the raising of the flag at the Battle of Iwo Jima. Instead of the American flag being raised, it is a pine tree.

The AMVETS Commander did make the following statement in his letter. “With Memorial Day only a few short weeks away and the month of May as Military Appreciation Month, how could TIME believe that this would be acceptable? ”

I guess we will just have to wait and see how the representatives at TIME Magazine will answer this.
