A simple sign, but its message was stronger than its size suggested.
The poster was proudly displayed in front of the ice cream shop and announced:
"This restaurant is politically incorrect. We wish you a Merry Christmas, God bless America, and we're offering free ice cream sundaes to veterans."
In a world where public communication often strives for calculated neutrality, these words stood out. Some saw them as a refreshing affirmation of patriotism and tradition; others perceived them as exclusionary and believed they conveyed the wrong message about who was welcome.
