I find it absolutely ridiculous that the Sussex Square homeowner's association in Virginia wants 90-year-old Col. Van T. Barfoot to take down his flag pole. This man won a Medal of Honor and fought in three wars, and it wants to tell him that he cannot fly Old Glory on a flagpole in his yard? Keep fighting sir, we are behind you!

Col. Van T. Barfoot and his daughter Margaret Nicholls lowered the flag outside Barfoot's home in the Sussex Square subdivision in western Henrico County, Va., Dec. 2. According to the subdivision's homeowner association board, Barfoot is in violation because he flies the flag from a flagpole instead of a pole attached to his porch or doorway. Barfoot has been ordered to remove the pole or face legal action. (Associated Press - Ap/The Minnesota Star Tribune)
