flag entitlement
As a Vietnam Vet, US Navy vet of 15 years I feel for this family. I open the cottage up every year and the first thing is to put up the American Flag..
In reading the paper, I think the lady made an error. I think she first should have gone after the people that damaged the flag as it was there fault. In one sense she had permission to put up a pole and fly the flag, but then because a company accidently broke her flag she wanted the association to pay for it. I do not blame the association for refusing to pay for it and perhaps can see why they tried to enforce the rules.
If I understand the way associations like this work, they are voted into office, and therefore can be voted out, just like the one on 1600 Penn. Ave. who would prefer that the American Flag not be flown because then he might just be choosing sides.
All aside my hope is that she gets to put the flag back up.
