Vet Faces Lawsuit For Flying American Flag

CLERMONT, Fla. -- A Central Florida war veteran faces a lawsuit for flying the American flag in his front yard.
"I don't understand why it would bring down the values of our homes by flying the American flag from a pole in my front yard," homeowner Jimmie Watkins said.
Watkins and his wife, Ria, received a final notices from the Sussex homeowners' association in Clermont that they must remove the flag or else face legal action.
The former retired U.S. Nave communications officer said he refuses to back down for the American flag.
"Our people are serving today to give us freedom," Watkins said. "To do as we like here within the law of America. It is my right to fly my flag from my pole and until a court of law tells me to haul that down. I will not haul it down. I think about all of the people who have served our nation and all of the lives that it's costs and all of the friends that I've lost."
Local 6 reported that all surrounding subdivisions in Kings Ridge allow a flag pole display in a person's front yard.
Jim Hart, who handles property management for 1,500 properties, including Sussex, said it is the association's call and not his.
"Each sub-association has its own set of documents and they can differ," Hart said. "The rationale for that only exists within the minds of the folks that are doing it. I can't sit here and tell you why."
The homeowner's association is not commenting about their rules. But state law said anyone can display a flag in a "respectful manner" as long as it is removable, Local 6 reported.

That crap ticks me off !!! I can't stand stuff like this!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH, sorry, I just hate people that are ignorant and have NO clue of history and how they became free. Americans are so freakn' babied and so damn spoiled it's not funny one bit. While we complain about someone flying their country flag in that country and petty BS like this, these people over here just try to get a bite to eat or enough money to support their family with a tiny mud house and no car. It really makes me speechless, especially as a soldier/sailor.

Things are so upside down this day and time. What used to be considered right is now wrong and what used to be considered wrong is now right. I'm hearing on the Presidential campaign trail a voice saying we need change but NOT saying what that change is to be should we cast a vote in their favor. BEWARE of anyone trying to sell you something when they won't tell you what it is because if they won't tell you what it is they are trying to sell you then its probably not something that is good for you or your family. We need a change alright, and it needs to be a change back to ways that are good and right and something you can lean on, not something that can quite possibly lead to the collapse of our society and Country as we know/remember it. Think of that flag every day, and the men and women defending it and say these words to yourself;
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands
ONE NATION UNDER GOD
INDIVISIBLE
With Liberty and Justice for All
Take these words and the history behind them and guard it with your heart.

Amen fellow sailor..., Amen
We had our flag out this weekend as did many of our neighbors. In fact, it's the ones who don't fly them that look odd and most if not all of them are gone for the weekend.
Fly it high and proud. _________________ Chris Dierkens
