Last month I read about Chestnut Place, a condo community in
Murray. Their HOA board decided the Stars and Stripes were holiday decorations
and should be removed within ten days of the holiday. Residents with flags up in
late September were slapped with a $75 fine, and they’re upset. They need to remember
two things: One, there are LOTS of holidays when flying the American flag is
appropriate, including (but not limited to) New Year's, Inauguration Day,
Martin Luther King's Birthday, Lincoln's Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Easter
(yes, Easter), Patriots Day, National Prayer Day, Mother's Day, Armed Forces
Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Constitution Day, Columbus
Day, Navy Day, Veterans Day (get that flag out now, before you forget),
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Election Day. Add the other 42 US presidents’
birthdays, and they should never have to strike their colors. Two, their HOA
board was voted in, and can easily be voted out.
