Tampa,
Florida - David Kelley joined the Army 2 years ago, he's now part of the
4th Infantry Division which is somewhere in Iraq fighting the war on
terror.
Here at home, his faithful wife Stacy lets
everyone know that David is in harm's way and needs our prayers and
support, something she thought she was getting until recently.
Stacy Kelley, Solider's wife:
"They didn't come and tell me. I got a letter in the mail saying
I had a sign violation in my yard and I needed to remove it." |
Should
soldiers? families be able to post signs

Westchase says the sign violates the community deed
restrictions, and if Stacy doesn't take it down, she'll face a
$100 a day fine.
Stacy
Kelley:
"I believe in everything he's doing and I believe in our
troops and I feel it's ashamed to have to remove it."

Gloria Nelson, Stacy's Mother:
"I'm proud of her, she is standing up for what she believes in, she's
standing up for the man she loves a man who is fighting for our country."
Murv Shiner, Neighbor who supports the sign:
"It's a temporary sign. He's only going to be there a year, so she wants
to show her support for her husband, and so do we!"
We
looked around Westchase and saw plenty of other signs, some were security signs,
others warned of bad dogs, and some were home-made which publicly support the
neighborhood bunko game.
Stacy
Kelley:
"It's not coming down? No, it's not coming down."
No one from the Westchase Association called us back about the sign. If fines
are imposed, local radio stations say they'll pay up so the sign doesn't have to
come down.
