OSHKOSH, Wis. — American flags will fly this Memorial Day weekend to honor those who gave their lives while serving their country.

But, in Oshkosh, a couple is being told to take down the U.S. flag they have displayed in their dining room window.

Dawn and Charlie Price have been told by their apartment's management company they must take it down, or face eviction.

Charlie Price is an Army veteran who served tours in Kosovo and Iraq. Dawn Price says the flag is a way to honor her husband's military service and remember those who made the "ultimate sacrifice."

The apartment management company, Midwest Realty Management, says its rules prohibit the display of flags, banners and political or religious material in order to maintain a consistent living environment for all apartment residents.

I am, just so very,very sad for this couple.
And abjectly ashamed of the powers that be.
My Grand dad said,
They, have always got us working folk beat, because we don't stick together
and went on to say, it's little or no difference to which political party you vote for.
Answer is simple,
vote with your feet.
That big supermarket he said, fingers in pies local government
it will get built, and it did. how long do you think it will stay open if no one goes in.

Self interest, lack of community spirit and greed.
He taught me a sense of community.
where we sat on the riverbank has long gone. Happy memories of fishing, are still golden.
