Indiana high school student gets custom American flag wrap for pickup truck
Video from original coverage.
ST. LEON, Ind. (WXIX) - An Indiana high school student received a major red, white and blue upgrade to his pickup truck weeks after school administrators told him to stop flying an American flag.
Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School in St. Leon, Ind., had flown an American flag from his pickup truck the entire school year. Earlier this month, he was told by school administrators the flag broke the rules and had to be taken down.
After Blasek showed administrators he hadn’t broken any rules, the school relented after a day.
The American Legion noted Blasek for his support of the flag last weekend. A Cincinnati graphics company is supporting Blasek with a new custom wrap for his pickup truck.
GCI Digital Imaging in Cincinnati applied the wrap to his truck for free. The custom wrap features the stars and stripes and a red, white and blue color scheme.
“We did it because we are proud Americans that believe that Cameron did exactly what needs to be done, stand up for our freedoms,” owner TJ Bedacht said.
GCI Digital Imaging provided photos to FOX19 NOW Anchor Tricia Macke of Blasek’s truck undergoing its patriotic makeover with a video of it being hauled on a flatbed sporting its new star-spangled color scheme.
Blasek was in awe of his truck when he saw it.
He says he is happy to display his American pride when he gets to school.
“I’m pretty happy that now I get to pull up to school in this thing, and I am happy to show off this American pride that I’ve been shown,” Blasek said.
