WWII vet says HOA won't let him fly US flag - Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5

WWII vet says HOA won't let him fly US flag - Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5: They said that four HOA board members came to his door and ordered him to take the flag down or face a fine of up to $25 a day.

"He was proud to serve. He just cried a bucket of tears when he found out he could not fly the flag of freedom. It is a piece of cloth, but it stands for our freedom," said Louise Helton.

Update: Courtney Lytle, a local lawyer, said that Helton can legally fly the Stars and Stripes. "The Federal Freedom to Display the Flag Act of 2005 specifically states that a homeowners association is not allowed to forbid homeowners from displaying the flag," said Lytle. "An HOA can restrict the display in how it's done."
