I am SO in agreement with Dave Halpern & Carol Williams on this.
What a ridiculous rule that could very easily be waived. Sounds like the HOA needs to elect a new Board - one whose members appreciate living in the USA!

If it has been there for four years, it should be grandfathered! While the association has rights, they may have waived them!

Part of me wants to say:
"This is 'Merica! Leave the flag alone you darn Commie bastard!"
but the other part of me says:
"if you allow one person to have a US flag, someone will want their national flag on their box (let's assume it's not the US for sake of argument). What happens then when someone else wants a Dallas Cowboys wrap on their mailbox? If you allow one variance you open the door to allowing them all."

Slippery slope argument if the HOA doesn't prevail. If they allow a flag wrap, what if I want to have my mailbox wrapped in the flag of my ancestor's homeland? Why would the US flag be ok, but my grandpa's country's flag not ok?
Once you open the door, you might as well remove all mailbox restrictions and (apparently) that is not what the HOA wants. People bought into the community knowing the rules.

I would think if the wrap has been on the mailbox for four years, that rule had already been ignored by the HOA and should be null and void.
I'm glad he'll be meeting with the HOA on Tuesday in an attempt to get that rule changed. Not allowing an American Flag on a mailbox is not a rule I'd support.

Get active and change the rules when appropriate.

South Vietnam has ceased to exist for 42 years. Its yellow banner is all over US. When a Vietnamese American hang the correct DPR Vietnam flag in Orange County, CA he gets beat up. State Dept tried to intervene but no avail. May be UN is the place to escalate since the delegates are having a good time according to our president Donald.

Fred Griffin It sounds like someone complained he is violating the HOA rules. From the photo it looks like all of the mailboxes are uniform. My opinion: Leave it alone.

We as Americans should be proud of our flag. In his case it was on his mail box....So What! If this is all that HOA has to worry about, they are very lucky. Veterans should be given a PASS, anytime they want to display the flag. I have started a petition to make it a Federal offense to desecrate our flag. As a Disabled Marine Vietnam Veteran, we must start making America PROUD again! Semper Fi!
