Residents in a Southern California neighborhood say their homeowners association is threatening to fine them unless they remove American flags displayed outside their homes, sparking outrage as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terri Collins and neighbors Amy and Chris Cooke, who live in San Marcos in San Diego County, said their HOA warned they could face a $100 fine if they continued flying American flags outside of their homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not taking my flag down,\u201d Terri said. \u201cThey can fine me, $100, $200, $1,000, I\u2019m not paying it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Terri said she has flown the Stars and Stripes for 35 years and described the neighborhood as very patriotic because it is near the former Miramar Navy Air Station, the original home of the Navy\u2019s TOPGUN school, adding, \u201call the Top Gun pilots lived here.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The homeowners said the <\/span>Ambiance Owners\u2019 Association has enforced these rules ever since President Donald Trump\u2019s 2024 election. According to the neighbors, several residents crumbled under pressure to take down their flags after receiving warning letters from the HOA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the members allow use of a common property by an owner to express what is essentially a political or affiliative view in a flag, other owners will want to do the same and the common area will degrade,\u201d a letter from the HOA board stated before the 2024 election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The HOA told homeowners they could display flags only in \u201cexclusive use\u201d areas, such as backyards, while front-facing common areas were off limits.\u00a0<\/span>The Cookes said their $100 fine stemmed from the size and placement of their flag.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Congress passed t<\/span>he <\/span>Freedom to Display the American Flag Act<\/span> in 2005, which generally prevents HOAs from banning residents from displaying the American flag while allowing restrictions on how it is displayed, including the size, placement, and type of flagpole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Kushner, an HOA attorney from Aliso Viejo, said \u201cthe law is crystal clear,\u201d adding that the HOA is \u201cbarking up the wrong tree.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI would tell these people to stand firm and under no circumstances should they remove that flag,\u201d he said. HOAs \u201ccount on the fact that homeowners don\u2019t know better and might be scared.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are outraged, if you want to fly your flag fly it, this is America,\u201d Amy Cooke, a 62-year-old visitation supervisor for children, <\/span>told<\/span> the California Post. \u201cWe are the land of the free and home of the brave, this is crazy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cookes said they have flown their flag for more than 20 years to honor Chris\u2019 grandfather, Alexander Christie, a Navy sailor who was killed aboard the USS Princeton during World War II while attempting to rescue fellow sailors in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Christie received the Purple Heart and the Navy Cross.<\/p>\n

The Cookes secured a 15-minute Zoom call with the HOA board on Tuesday. If the board doesn\u2019t back down, they said they plan to take legal action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve never sued anyone in our life. We\u2019re just here to fly our flag and be left alone,\u201d Chris said<\/span>. \u201c<\/span>There\u2019s enough division, we shouldn\u2019t have to do this, but we don\u2019t want to be pushed into submission.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

California Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton also responded to the HOA\u2019s stance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI hope everyone in that neighborhood not only ignores their HOA but doubles and trebles the number of American flags they display on this very special anniversary for our nation,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cookes and Terri are still planning to celebrate America\u2019s 250th anniversary, despite the dispute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a significant difference between some random flag for whatever you support and the American flag, the symbol of our country,\u201d Amy said. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a flag. It\u2019s a symbol.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n
