A retired Georgia combat veteran has lost his fight to fly his American flag and U.S. Marine Corps colors outside his home in an Atlanta-area retirement community.
MyFoxAtlanta.com reports that the board of directors at Marine Capt. Jim Lowe's community in Griffin voted against changing a rule on outside decorations that threatened his patriotic display.
Sun City-Peachtree's codes state that each home in the retirement community can only have one flag, but Lowe fought the rule, arguing that the traditional Marine Corps battle color is not a flag.
Lowe told the station in July that he received a code violation notice from management informing him that he and his wife would face fines of up to $25 a day and a possible lien on his home if he did not remove one of the flags.

Reviewed and accepted rules when he obtained the residence.
There is a procedure to change the rules, if his neighbors agree with him.
Best not to live in communes or collectives governed by Progressive HOAs.
Correct. The flags in the picture are appropriately displayed (there is a perspective issue with the picture but we can guess that the Marine mounted the brackets correctly).
Your are wrong sir! The US flag position is to the “right”, the senior position, exception to this is, when an odd number of flags are flown, it is also allowed to be posted in the “middle” but at a higher level when placed in the middle.

I believe that's the flag's right, or the viewer's left.
Oh yes they can, mine does. Curtains must be white to the outside.
Incorrect, pogue.
By the way CardeadInKy, great screen name.
