The Chapman family was among the first to move into Glen Lakes about three years ago. 

"We always had a flag in front of our house in Rhode Island,'' said Sylvia Chapman. "We packed it with our stuff when we sold our house up there and when we moved here, we put it up.'' 

Chapman said that before putting up the flagpole, her husband, John, asked each of their new neighbors if they had a problem with a flagpole. They didn't, she said. 

The homeowners association took the Chapmans to court. It might do the same with a second family that has refused to remove its flag.
