World War Two Flag Returned to Reno City Hall

An American flag from a World War II battleship stolen from its display after people broke into the Reno City Hall on Saturday amid protests in Nevada over the death of George Floyd was anonymously returned Tuesday. The flag was inside a package anonymously delivered to a Reno TV station Tuesday with a note in Sharpie that read: “Needed protecting. Looters were flag burning. R.I.P George Floyd.” The men of the U.S.S. Reno were credited with shooting down five enemy airplanes and assisted in the downing of at least two more at Iwo Jima.
