A man was fired over a God button he decided to wear while working at Home Depot.

The man named Trevor Keezer from Miami wore a pin on his uniform that had an American flag and read “One Nation Under God Indivisible”.

Trevor had worked at that store as a cashier for over a year while wearing the button. Then one day when Trevor had brought his bible to read at lunch time, his manager approached him and threatened him:

“…I was told it had to come off, or I would be sent home. So they sent me home for six straight days without pay. And then today they terminated me.”

Keezer says wearing the pin is his way of showing support for the troops overseas, including his brother, Army Spc. Steven Keezer Jr.

Home Depot defends the manager’s actions:

“The company’s dress code policy states that we do not allow non-company buttons, regardless of their message or content.”

The Home Depot pins had messages such as “United We Stand” but nothing mentioning God.

“…you can’t have country without God. Every pin they showed me had no ‘God’ on it or anything.”

This week, it was announced that Keezer plans to sue the company. His lawyer says that the dress-code policy had never really been enforced fairly, and that other employees wore their own buttons.
