Colonel Van Barfoot Stands His Ground to Raise the American Flag
RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Col. Van Barfoot has until Friday at 5 pm to remove his flagpole or face a civil suit. The 90-year-old veteran is shocked and gratified by the outpouring of support from around the country.
His daughter, Margaret Nicholls said, "The response has been unbelievable. What started as a local story has grown into a national outcry to help my Dad."
The neighborhood association has yet to decide whether Colonel Barfoot will be fined $10 per day every day he raises the American Flag but the 5:00 Friday deadline is looming.
"No matter the outcome," said Margaret, "we want something good to come out of this."
