This story illustrates the type of legal quagmire that can get out of hand while soldiers are serving abroad and their families are dealing with the stress of their deployment.

Well, whoever reads this story, it's Memorial Day. I can only hope that these homeowners get an attorney and sue the crap out of this homeowner's association. I don't know a soul who wouldn't support it! I'd love to see if we could get those NAMES of the people who did this, then ship them to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Thanks for writing. That is a helluva good idea you had.
