This story has reduced me to tears!
I hold a special place in my heart for aviators, veterans, and the American flag.
In the course of his 92 years, Mr. Helton of McDonough, Georgia has VOLUNTEERED to fight in 3 wars for the United States of America. He fought for my freedom and yours. He fought for these ungrateful, insensitive, and brain-dead board members, too! Today, He sits in his chair with his aviator’s shirt on. He is devastated. And he can’t hold back the tears.
Why?
Because four board members from the Village At Spring Creek HOA marched themselves to his front door and ordered him to take the America flag off his house or they will fine him $25 per day. And one of them said, “If you don’t take it down, I’ll take it down!”
If you’ve read this far please think about what I am about to say. Do we really and truly want the last years, months, days, or hours of life on this earth for those who have sacrificed so much for each of us to be spent in the greatest battle of their lives to be with their Homeowners Association? The Helton’s have lived in this HOA hellhole less than one year. President George W. Bush signed into law the RIGHT to fly the American flag in 2005 so any of us who wish to fly it could freely do so.
This story makes me feel more and more like our enemies are not on foreign soil. They are right here living next door and down the street. Every single story I read about HOAs cements that belief for me.
Please join me in our efforts to stop this insanity by flying your American flag today.
United we can and will make a difference!
