You know the rules when you move in. So abide by the rules or move out." As one reporter said, that comment is fine, but I wonder, have any of those 9 members ever broken the speed limit? Rules are rules! The Col is 90 years old and has given his all for our country. Let him be. At least let him show his respect for the flag. He has earned that right. The "Board" should reconsider their position and should feel honored to have one of the few living MOH recipients amoungst their neighbors. Instead of tearing down his flagpole, they should be considering a meorial for him.

Our military gives their lives for those freedoms, this fellow is a hero. I suggest an amendment to the HOA rules - if you have a Medal of Honor, you get a flagpole.
