Florida Man Fined $1,000 For Flying Wounded Warrior Project Flag

Florida Man Fined $1,000 For Flying Wounded Warrior Project Flag: A Florida man was told by his homeowners association that he would have to remove a flag for the Wounded Warrior Project from his residence or face a $1,000 fine.

Thomas Bagnoli, who has lived in the Grand Haven community of Palm Coast for 13 years, refused to take it down. He says the flag has been up for at least a year.


"They can do whatever they want. I’m doing what I want,” Bagnoli told WJXT-TV. “I feel strongly about this.”

He said the association told him the flag is against association rules, but other homes fly prisoner of war flags and missing in action flags without fines.
