The American flag has been flying in front of Matthew Youngelman’s home since he moved to Summer Creek Estates off Lee Land Road. On Thanksgiving morning, however, he woke up to discover his flag missing. “We noticed that our neighborhood was ravaged of all the flags that were on their porches,” Youngelman said, adding that a large number of people in the community fly the flag.
