Michael Clauer is a captain in the Army Reserve who commanded over 100 soldiers in Iraq. But while he was fighting for his country, a different kind of battle was brewing on the home front. Last September, Michael returned to Frisco, Texas, to find that his homeowners' association had foreclosed on his $300,000 house—and sold it for $3,500. This is story illustrates the type of legal quagmire that can get out of hand while soldiers are serving abroad and their families are dealing with the stress of their deployment. And fixing the mess isn't easy.

......

On the eve of Memorial Day is the best we can do for our Veterans? Sad, very very sad!

If I knew where to send a donation I would do it. Anyone have an address?

:patriot: Thank you Captain Clauer and all those serving.

1. What idiots! Who would ever want to live in a neighborhood capable of such a thing?
They just sucessfully stigmatized themselves as a neighborhood of incredible a-holes. Good luck selling in the future you morons!

2. That story makes me curious about who it was they sold it to for
$3500.

Follow the money.

Seems to me he has a case for fraud against the HOA.

3. Exactly! My son who is a Gulf War Vet tried to buy a foreclosed property a year ago and the mortgag...
was held by a bank in Tx and they wouldn't get back with him on it. They were waiting for the bail out money I guess. It is still sitting empty! Go figure!
