Fla. man says Home Depot fired him over God button
"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 Home Depot management told him he would have to remove the button.

Curtis Sliwa Offers Tours of NYC's 'Underbelly'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Tourists can now get a look at New York City's underbelly, thanks to Curtis Sliwa.
The Guardian Angels founder turned radio host has launched a three-hour Underbelly Tour of the South Bronx.
The tour, which was first reported by Crain's New York, stops at drug houses, money-laundering fronts and chop shops that break down stolen cars. Guests ride the No. 4 train, once known as the Mugger's Express, to the South Bronx.
Sliwa concedes that the area has improved dramatically. But he tells the Daily News that visitors can still ``get a flavor of what it was like.''
The tour price is negotiable. Proceeds support the Guardian Angels.
