I sent the company a nasty email this is what I got back
Notice
We are pleased to announce that we have come to a mutual agreement with the Prices that allows them to keep their American flag.
We would like to apologize to the Prices and to all American veterans. It was never our intention to hurt the Prices or disrespect what Mr. Price and all veterans have sacrificed for each and every one of us.
We have learned from this situation and will be revising our policy to allow our residents to honor America and display the American flag in a manner similar to the Prices.
Again we apologize to the Prices and anyone else who was offended by our actions. It is our sincere hope that our apology will be accepted and the changes we are making will be beneficial to our company and our residents.
Our company (Midwest Realty Management) was founded by a gentleman who served in the Korean War and World War II. The current President of the company was a Navy Pilot from 1973 ? 1979. Midwest?s Construction Supervisor is also a Navy Veteran. We fly United States flags at all of our properties and we have the utmost respect for all who have served our country in the armed forces. In fact, the subject apartment community has four United States Flags flying throughout the property. Our request to take down the flag displayed in the window has nothing to do with our patriotism.
Our policies do not allow any type of flags, banners or political or religious material to be displayed in the windows of the apartments. This policy was developed to insure that we are fair to everyone as we have many residents from diverse backgrounds. By having a blanket policy of neutrality we have found that we are less likely to offend anyone and the aesthetic qualities of our apartment communities are maintained.
We apologize if our intentions are perceived as being unpatriotic, but that is simply not the case. Our only intention is to provide a comfortable and consistent living environment for all residents.
Midwest Realty Management
