Home Depot Employee Fired Over God Button

Trevor Keezer - a Florida man says he was fired from from his job at The Home Depot for wearing a button that reads "One Nation Under God, indivisible."

Keezer said he'd been wearing the American flag button on his Home Depot apron since he began working as a cashier at the store in March 2008.

"I was just doing what I think every American should do, just love my country," Trevor Keezer, 20, said.

But earlier this month, when he started bringing a Bible to read during his lunch break, Keezer said his bosses told him he would have to remove the button.

Keezer refused, and he was fired on Oct. 23, he said.

"It feels kind of like a punishment, like I was punished for just loving my country," Keezer said.

A Home Depot spokesman said Keezer was fired because he violated the company's dress code.

Keezer was working at The Home Depot to earn money for college. He said, he wore the button to support his country and his 27-year-old brother, who is in the National Guard and is set to report in December for a second tour of duty in Iraq.

Keezer's lawyer believes it is a case of religious discrimination and is planning to sue The Home Depot.
