Injured Afghanistan Vet Told She Can’t Fly American Flag At Apartment .................................................. July 27, 2013 by Anjali Hemphill sacramento.cbslocal.com CITRUS HEIGHTS (CBS13) — An injured veteran of the war in Afghanistan has been told to take down the American flag she has flying from her balcony by her apartment’s management company. Jen Elliot was shocked when she found a notice on her front door. It’s from her property management company asking her to remove an American flag from her balcony, along with some other items. “I was very upset and very offended by it,” she said. “We live in America. Why shouldn’t we fly our flag proudly?” Elliot says she immediately checked her lease to see if she was in fact violating any rules. “It does say you cannot have flags, plants or wind chimes. However, it does say that the American flag can be displayed within the laws of the state and proper flag etiquette. And mine is.” After CBS13 went to the property manager, the rental company called Elliot to say she can fly her flag—it just can’t stay where it’s at. The flag can’t be screwed into the siding of her balcony. “I’ve lost six people in the past three months, and I know they are going through a tough time. I fly that for them.” She was a specialist serving as a heavy-wheeled vehicle operator and a .50-caliber gunner. She says she flies the flag to remind her of her unit overseas that she can’t be a part of anymore after she was injured. “I suffered from PVI, which is a traumatic brain injury. I was blown off into the wall, and I was unconscious for a couple of minutes. And I still have PTSD from that.” Elliot says she’s moving out unless they let her keep the flag the way it is. “I’ll take my plants and wind chimes down, it that’s what you want. But I’m not taking that flag down.” The property management company says they are meeting with Jen face-to-face on Monday to discuss their options and how they can come to a resolution
