RICHMOND, Va. — A 90-year-old Medal of Honor winner says he plans to fly Old Glory “without interference” for the rest of his life, now that his homeowners association has dropped a demand to take down a 21-foot flagpole in his front yard.
Retired Army Col. Van T. Barfoot read a statement Wednesday thanking people who backed his efforts to fly the American flag at his home.
Barfoot’s comments came a day after the Sussex Square home owners association dropped threats of legal action. He had erected the flagpole in September, despite being told it violated the neighborhood’s guidelines.
