Veteran Wins Battle to Keep His Flagpole

[Traveler 45C]

"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."

What the hell is wrong with our society?

I'm sorry to say this is happening in my neck of the woods (a couple of miles away). It amazes me when people get a burr up their @$$ and can't see the forest for the trees. This isn't a case of not hiding your trash can or satellite dish from the neighbors view, it's the American Flag!

I'd counter sue on the grounds that my neighbors are STUPID.....
