The National Park Service (NPS) dismissed claims that it ordered the removal of an American flag at a popular park in Alaska ahead of Memorial Day Weekend.

The NPS denied accusations that it instructed a construction crew working on a bridge in Denali National Park to no longer fly the flag from their vehicles or heavy equipment because it distracted from the park experience.
