Let's go back to the point where you pointed out, correctly, that there is no enforcement mechanism associated with The Flag Code.

Would your point be that the Original Poster was taking it too seriously that the homeowner was flying the flag of another country below the flag of the United States?

A previous poster has already pointed out that the practice does not imply disrespect of the US Flag, but, if anything, of the flag that flies below it. The Flag Code says "International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace." How seriously should a Villages homeowner be concerned about "International usage?"

I'm interested in your view.
