RALLY HELD IN KING, NC.

KING, N.C. (WGHP) - Supporters of the Christian flag rallied in King again on Monday night, hoping to push city leaders to overturn a decision to remove the flag from the Veterans Memorial.

The group brought a Christian flag to the rally and held a prayer vigil at the memorial. The group has kept vigil at the site since last week.

Those who attended the rally said public support is what keeps the rally going.

"They were talking about one obscure flag in the back corner of the park. All of a sudden, there's flags on every porch, on every business and in every yard. It really brought a lot of awareness to the fact that this is a Christian community," said Mike Marshall, a flag supporter.

The town also faces a potential complaint over a cross at a grave marker at the memorial. The city was given a deadline of Saturday to remove the cross but the cross has not been removed.
