America: Homeowners Association Finally Give In and Allows 90 Year Old Medal of Honor Winner to Fly American Flag
A happy ending to a ridiculously stupid situation created by idiots and lawyers. It is hard to believe this could happen in the land of the free. It is a happy ending but it went all over the air waves and up to the White House before they backed down.
A 90-year-old Medal of Honor recipient can keep his 21-foot flagpole in his front yard after a homeowner’s association dropped its request to remove it, a spokesman for Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said Tuesday.
The Sussex Square homeowners’ association likewise has agreed to drop threats to take legal action against retired Army Col. Van T. Barfoot, Warner spokesman Kevin Hall said.
The association had threatened to take Barfoot to court if he failed to remove the pole from his suburban Richmond home by Friday. It had said the pole violated the neighborhood’s aesthetic guidelines.

I wonder how many members of that HOA board and their law firm were derided, cajoled, if not outright threatened with bodily harm, if they didn’t back down. It would be interesting to see those numbers. Of course being pilloried in the court of public opinion may have worked, also.
Thank you Mr. Barfoot for your selfless service for your Country. Your service and those, “..which gave the last full measure of devotion”..to this Country,are the reason we still enjoy the freedoms that we have. Veterans understand that the Flag represents the sacrifice that all those who have ever given their lives to …” support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”..
Continue to fly Her proudly and I salute you sir!
