American that wants to display their flag or in this case a sign that says "Our son defends
our freedom". Now generally, my thoughts are if you want to live in a neighbourhood
and they are so left winged and tight ass that they won’t allow American flags to be flown,
simple don’t live there. Do your homework and simply know what you can or cant do.
I think it should be against the law freaking period to refuse anyone in this country to
fly the American flag but that’s just One Marine’s View.
In the below case however, you have a proud set of parents that are simply that, proud
of their son, their son that has joined the toughest military gun club in the world,volunteered to go into harms way and has a job to do. I’ve been on that end of not
being able to call home often and can tell you its awesome to get to hear loved ones
on the other end and hear how proud they are of you and support you. But see
America, this is where this country has become weak and timid. Standing tall and
saying I’m proud to be an American and because we are the land of the free, I can
fly my flag. Some people don’t like that and don’t want to “offend” anyone and
frankly I have to throw the bullshit flag on that.Granted the home owners assoc
most likely states you cant have signs in your front yard because they don’t want
the neighbourhood trashed. Got it and if that’s “their” deal then bad on you for not
knowing it.
However, if there are other signs in other members yards in the neighbourhood
and they haven’t been summoned in court along with the family supporting their
son then bad on the association. It must take a real bad ass to send a cop to do
your dirty work because you have no spine and have him serve the parents of
a deployed warrior to court. Could you imagine this happening during WW II?
I don’t think so. But in our gradually growing “we don’t want to hurt anyone’s
feelings” country we put up with this shit.
Well you might, me, no.
Frankly I got a cold beer that says that if we asked all the members on
the home owners association if they have any of their kids serving in a
combat zone the answer would be no. I bet if we asked if they even
have ever had any of the children serve period the answer would be no.
Freaking sad.

The Assoc statement said that Westmoreland "personally supports and
agrees with the message contained in the Burrs' sign" and that board
members were thankful for Corey Burr's service.” Take, take, take
but consider making a difference and serve your country and this is how
they show they support this warrior’s family. If they don’t like the sign
then why not show they “support” the warrior another way in order to
replace the sign? They haven’t offered anything like that because
actions speak louder than words and they don’t really “support” the
entire idea at all. If it were me I would put even a bigger sign in my
yard, sit next to it with a Cgar and my American flag but again, that’s

Time for a CGar!

Note:
Here is one great suggestion made on "One Marine's View:
That should silence those that are complaining yet sleep every night
No, I can not imagine this happening in WWII. This attitude would not have
been tolerated in any neighborhood my clan resided in. Ok it is what it is.
Now here’s where Mama has to start thinking outside of the box staying
within the HOA guidelines and keep her commitment to honor her son.
Silk Screening comes to mind. Her son’s picture, the Eagle, Globe and Anchor,
flags, patches and anything else he holds dear on some gorgeous fabric that
has subtle hues of his dress uniform using that fabric for drapes or on a frame
to be hung in the window facing the street Out of the yard into their living space.
I found some examples of silk screen here:
That should silence those that are complaining yet sleep every night
under the protection their son and all those with him provide.
They might just have said, “Thank you.”
