American Flag Not Allowed Here!

Screen Shot 2014-03-27 at 9.21.42 AMA busybody neighbor complains about an Oregon grandma displaying the American flag at her window.  Grandma received permission six years ago to hang the flag at the window when she moved into the apartment complex.  After the busybody neighbor complains, stating it was a “colored drape”,  grandma receives an eviction notice.

Wow, what happened to freedom to display the American flag?

Growing up in Europe as a child and spending several years as a military wife, Cookie learned to appreciate and respect diversity in people choosing to live by the phrase, agree to disagree. What is important to Cookie is family, faith, and fun. Cookie is involved in PolitiChicks because she says 'if we don't, who will?'
