City officials argue that the display goes beyond permitted signage limits, sparking a larger conversation about whether paying tribute to heroes should be subject to strict regulations.
While city leaders emphasize the importance of upholding the rules, Brann insists the memorial is a vital expression of respect and appreciation for law enforcement and military personnel.
Despite the zoning violation, Brann is pursuing a formal request for a zoning variance. Still, he vows to keep the tribute standing—whether or not the city approves it.
His determined stance reflects a deep and personal commitment to recognizing the sacrifices of those who have served and died protecting their communities.
