A retired U.S. Army chaplain is being threatened with legal action for flying the American flag in his front yard, the Daily Mail reports.
Fred Quigley, 77, of Macedonia, Ohio, a minister who served active duty during the Vietnam War, has been told by the homeowners’ association that his flag violates the property rules.
The association has offered to fly the flag at the entrance of the building development, but Quigley refused the offer.
“If they can dictate to me that I cannot fly an American flag in America, then, to me, the country is lost,” Mr. Quigley told the paper.
Quigley’s lawyer Gerald Patronite said the association has no right to stop his client.
According to the Mail, Joseph Migliorini, the representative for the homeowners’ association and former mayor of Macedonia, which is between Cleveland and Akron, said he plans to take Quigley to court if the flagpole is not removed.
Migliorini said: “We just want the rules and regulations followed. “
Members of the local American Legion post joined Quigley last week in a flag-raising ceremony in protest at the association’s policy.

Not meaning to be critical of my elders, and a US military veteran, but if he knew and agreed to the rules when he moved in, he can’t then turn around and decide he won’t follow those rules. We see this over and over again. If that policy is something you can’t live with, don’t live there.
I do not understand how any American could put in their rules or contract or whatever, that you cannot fly the American Flag in your own yard! Disgusting! I am with YOU Mr. Quigley, Sir! Shame on the homeowners association!
