Do you fly an American flag at your home?

We should all have the right to fly the American Flag. I have a spotlight on my flag day and night because I'm proud to be an American even though some people find this to be politically incorrect. Unfortunately, my friend, who is an Iraqi Vet was told by his HOA(Home Owners Association) that he has to take down his flag that's hanging from his porch on his townhouse because it might offend others and that it is against rules and regulations. It is a relatively small flag and is attached to the front of his townhouse. It has flown there for at least 15 years and nothing has ever been said about it until someone new moved in a few months ago. Hmmmm, you think that might be a coincidence? I think not! Our freedoms are being taken away from us by this government on a daily basis and one freedom should be the RIGHT TO FLY OUR GREAT AMERICAN FLAG on our homes! My friend is going to fight the HOA. As he puts it, he fought for America and the flag that represents our country and he should have the right to fly the flag that he put his life on the line for! Does anyone know if this is unconstitutional or not?

I am proud of being an American...this is my home!
And the American flag flies right next to my husband's flag:

and my flag:

I FLY MY AMERICAN FLAG FROM MY CONDO DECK ! WE HAVE 10 FAMILYS THAT FLY THEIR FLAGS EVERY DAY FROM THEIR DECKS . WE HAVE A FLAGPOLE HOLDER THAT WILL NOT DEFACE RAILINGS. NO CLAMPS,.SCREWS OR BRACKETS. JHWALZ1@AOL.COM. JAMES WALZ - 321-784-1970 CAPE CANAVERAL FL.

Yes and proudly so, honoring all who fought for our freedoms and a reminder of our greatness

I flew my flag until it fell apart, the i folded it (properly) and buried it in my back yard. I have a new one on order!

I have one big one & about 5 little ones in my flower beds because I am damn proud to be an American

Its respect for the country, the symbolism of the meaning of the flag, and because I am proud to be an American.

I love my country.

But I should we should ALL be blessed where in the safest country.Still Dangerous though.

I need to get a new one, mine became too tattered to fly.

Yes, a big four by eight foot flag that was draped over my wife's grandfather's coffin....he was a WWII vet, Navy......and we are DAMN proud of it!!

Yes , becasue America is the greatest country in the world, but I fly it upside down because we are a country in terrible distress right now with what Obama is trying to do to US

My dad was buried 9/11/2001.....I flew out to his funeral.....we did not make it.My son is in the service, most of my family served from the beginnings of this nation on....I have a brother still missing in 'Nam......It stands for freedom and until obama and his cronies take my life for breaking their new "no flags allowed" law...it will fly high and proud....24/7.

Sure do!

i dont even have one
lol

idk

I need to get one.

If I had a flag and pole I most certainly would and someday when I buy my own home I will!

Hi, we have a flower pot with dirt in it and put a stick flag in it. Works great

We don't have a flag pole.....

Yes, I have flown a flag 24/7 since 9-11 and will continue to do so as long as our troops are in harm's way.

I am proud of my brother Grant, my cousins, my grandfathers and every other American who is or has served for ME! I love them even if I don't know them. When I see a solider I make it a point to thank them and hug them if they will let me. I tear up when I see them because I know they willingly enlist knowing what they might face. I love their families who stay behind waiting. I love the freedom our flag represents and til the day I die I will fly OUR flag!

A lot of people died for what the flag stands for,freedom!

sure do im proud of america but im also proud to be mexican

Because I am proud of what our country is supposed to stand for, its history, and the people who are serving to protect our country

I fly an American Flag AND a Confederate Flag. I fly BOTH, because I'm a True-Blooded, to the BONE, Dixie-Born and bred, proud, AMERICAN SOUTHERN woman.
I LOVE The USA enough to DIE for it, and i'm NOT ashamed to announce it to the world!

Amen sister.. from one true blooded, born and bred southern woman to another!!!

Oh YES!

So you fly the American flag and the flag of those who wanted to secede from America? I'm sorry, I don't quite get that one.


EDIT: Since the "southern thang" has blocked me: Sweetie, I would qualify for the Daughters of the Confederacy were I so inclined to join the group. I had at least two Confederate ancestors. I may be from Pennsylvania, but my dad is from Texas, and that's where I've spent some good chunks of my life.

Now, you want to EXPLAIN, or just tell me I'd never understand?

"It's a SUTHERN THANG" a Liberal Yankee like YOU would NEVER understand!

Actually, I had two known ancestors in the Confederacy and my dad's from Texas, where I have spent some large portions of my life. If I wanted to, I could qualify for the Daughters of the Confederacy. Neither of you have actually offered any explanation for the dichotomy of being loyal to the Union and the Confederacy both, just slogans and pictures.

Edit: Wow, two blocks in one day! I'm on a roll. And no insults were thrown, either. I wasn't denying people the right to fly the Confederate flag if they so choose. I'm questioning the thinking that you can be loyal to the Union (American flag) and the Confederacy at the same time.

I consider it to be my flag, I too have known ancestors that fought for the south. There is absolutely nothing wrong with flying the Southern Cross, it's about heritage, not hate!

Doesn't that just annoy ya when people automatically assume that the rebel flag is about racism?
If that was the case, then many tribes were racist because there were many of the 5 civilized tribes that fought in the Civil War.

pirate flag

I don't feel that I need one....I know that I live in America...

You betcha....and will continue to do so as long as it's legal. (Scary times these days.....one never knows when that right will be taken away simply because it "offends" someone!)
I'm a thankful American. I'm proud of Old Glory!
Thank you American Veterans!

because I LOVE MY COUNTRY!

And anyone that has a problem with it is invited to leave .... the country!
