Ok,

Because of THIS news story: http://www.wmur.com/news/23611657/detail.html

I'm thinking of driving over to this community with my flag to show my support.

Saturday at noon seems like a good time. It would be nice to get a group of proud Americans to join me in support of this VETERAN and his neighbors.

It's at Mapleleaf village, 10 Center rd. Hillsboro, NH

Bring a flag or 7, and I've got "Proud to be an American" all cued up on my ipod. Should we meet somewhere and cruise over, or meet there?

Since it's the flag act that's the real issue why not protest the local or state govt. building asking for NH to recognize it's own law to allow flags in places like that; we have the right to peaceful assembly as long as we aren't blocking traffic or causing a viable disturbance. Can you get wmur to come to Concord?

Update: Hillsborough police say an agreement has been reached to allow LeVangie and other residents to fly the U.S. flag and make sure the flags are in good condition. Read the update here.

HILLSBOROUGH, N.H. -- A Navy veteran in Hillsborough will now be allowed to fly his U.S. flag outside his apartment building.

Hillsborough police said an agreement has been reached to allow residents of the Maple Leaf Village complex to fly flags.

Joe LeVangie, 88, and his neighbors had been told to take down the flags because they were displayed in violation of a policy set by the management company. LeVangie is a World War II veteran and said he flew his flag to honor troops serving overseas.

Police said that under a preliminary agreement reached with management company EJL Management, the Hillsborough Police Association in partnership with American Legion Post 59 agreed to keep an eye on the flags and make sure they are in good condition. If not, the police association will talk to the owner of the flag to see if it can be replaced.

If the owner can't replace it, the police association will cover the cost to replace the flag at no cost to the town or owner of the rental property.

Police said all parties are in agreement, and the details will be worked out with the property custodian.

LeVangie's story gained national attention after it was first reported on News 9. Many viewers who saw the story on-air or online said they were shocked by the order to remove the flag.
