Events 42 BC - First Battle of Philippi: Triumvirs Mark Antony and Octavian fight an indecisive battle with Caesar's Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Trump has filed a lawsuit stating that the flag is protected by his constitutional rights. [10]
The flag pole incident has since then been quietly resolved. The six-month stand-off ended as town officials agreed to a settlement that will lower the banner 10 feet and move it away from the ocean. All fines will be dropped and Trump will contribute $100,000 to various charities for Iraq War veterans, the American flag or veterans' hospitals. Trump will also drop a $25 million lawsuit against the town.
