A 70-year-old man, Edward Zivica, who served
in the Navy in the 1960s is facing a hard choice come Veterans
Day this week. He can obey the rules and remain in his
apartment complex, or he can follow his tradition of hanging the
American flag outside his place.
The managers at his subsidized housing project in Springfield,
Ore., have given him notice he'll be evicted if he again
violates the rules against putting anything on the exterior
walls.
Zivica was in the Navy's Submarine Service
from 1960 to 1967.
The flag, he said, was one the Army sent
when his dad, a World War II veteran, died. Zivica says a
brother also served, in Korea, as a Marine.
Update: Looks like the bad publicity has
changed things. The Oregon veteran is now allowed to
display his flag.
