Bill would protect service flags

This weekend, be sure to remember what Memorial Day is all about.

A condominium association near Canton, Ohio, had a policy that outraged the families of America's fighting men and women. This policy forbade residents from displaying Gold Star or Blue Star flags to honor family members who served in war.

But now Rep. John Boccieri (D-Ohio) has introduced a bill that would prevent condo or homeowners' associations from prohibiting service flags.

This is also shaping up to be another battle against residential associations' irrational, illogical dictates, which affect Americans of almost every economic class.
