so, you're not the only asshole in CT.
"BB" wrote in message ... From the Hartford Courant: EAST WINDSOR -- Today, on Flag Day, Teresa Richard will fly Old Glory in the front of her home without fear, following a long, contentious and ultimately successful battle with her condo association. Richard, the mother of a soldier, made national headlines in February after her condo association ordered her to take down her U.S. flag. She eventually won the right to keep it flying as long as she wants and today - the 230th anniversary of Congress' adopting the U.S. flag - Richard will stand triumphantly beside it. "It's the first time I've had my flag flying on Flag Day without feeling like I'm being threatened," said Richard, whose son until recently has been fighting in Afghanistan as a member of the Connecticut National Guard. "Nobody's going to threaten me. Nobody's going to order me to take it down. It is never coming down." It will be particularly poignant for her because her son, Cpl. Tony Donihee, was injured in March while jumping out of a Humvee in Afghanistan. He was allowed to spend the last four days in East Windsor with his mother and father, and will leave for Fort Bragg, N.C., today for months of physical therapy on his left leg. "They say he won't be up and walking for six to 10 months," Richard said. The board of directors of Richard's condo association has now adopted a new provision that allows all residents to raise flags on poles. An association rule had banned that. The new provision allows residents to raise the U.S. and military flags. Kevin Carson, president of the board of directors, said the board decided that the flags would not "take away from the property or property value." In February, as Richard faced mounting fines from her condo association, she peered through her kitchen window at the flag every morning, to remind herself of why she was fighting to keep it. That flag, now waving atop a Blue Star flag hung by mothers of soldiers, is her only connection to her son while he's gone, she said. When she looks at the flag, she said she feels grateful that, though he was injured, he is still alive. A miniature angel sits atop a globe at the base of the flagpole. The angel, Richard said, will protect her son and the rest of the soldiers fighting abroad. "It is my own personal belief," she said, "that this angel, this small angel, is watching over them." |
