Colleen Stephens, right, and her daughter, Christine Wylie pose for a photo Thursday standing in Stephens’ Loveland yard near a decorative American flag and potted plants in the Alford Meadows neighborhood. Stephens and her husband Rich protested their homeowners association’s request to remove the flag by erecting a large sign criticizing the HOA in their front yard, and were then sued by the HOA for displaying the sign and the flag, but the lawsuit was dismissed.
