“…Hotel front-desk supervisor Sean May on Thursday was fired from an historic St. Augustine, Fla., hotel for wearing a lapel pin (an American Flag), which breaks the hotel’s “personal appearance” rules that bans the 
wearing badges and pins…’
But May wasn’t wearing just any pin: It’s an American flag pin, which is why the Casa Monica Hotel’s move is sparking controversy in quaint St. Augustine, Fla.
According to tonight’s story, the hotel’s response has angered many. “The dress code should include a lapel pin for everybody,” Bruce Whalen, who served in the Air Force, told the TV station.
“Anybody who takes a chance on his livelihood to take a stand for patriotism is a hero and should be treated like a hero,” Whalen said.
He’s now calling on friends to boycott the hotel and its parent company.
