Wed Oct 28, 8:35 am ET WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A former cashier for
The Home Depot who has been wearing a "
One nation under
God" button on his work apron for more than a year has been fired, he says because of the religious reference. The company claims that expressing such personal beliefs is simply not allowed.
"I've worn it for well over a year and I support my country and God," Trevor Keezor said Tuesday. "I was just doing what I think every
American should do, just love my country."
The
American flag button Keezer wore in the
Florida store since
March 2008 says "One nation under God, indivisible."
Earlier this month, he began bringing a
Bible to read during his
lunch break at the store in the
rural town of
Okeechobee, about 140 miles north of
Miami. That's when he says The
Home Depot management told him he would have to remove the button.
