A North Texas couple said they were deeply offended after a banner they created to show support for military at Cowboys games was banned from the new stadium.

Plano residents Karen Williams and her husband said it felt an insult to the men and women who serve the United States when employees at the stadium asked the couple to take the banner down during a recent game.

The Williams are both veterans, and their son currently serves in the Army. When they attended games, they proudly displayed a banner supporting the military.

The banner had illustratrations of the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy and Marine Corps symbols. In the center were the words "We Support Our Troops."

"It supports not only our son in the Army, but all the other military services as well," Williams said.
