Intriguing: Senator writes holiday song

Van T. Barfoot UPDATE: The retired Army colonel and Medal of Honor winner will be allowed to keep his 21-foot flagpole in the front yard of his suburban Richmond, Virginia, home, where he raised, lowered and folded the flag each day, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Barfoot's homeowners' association had demanded that he remove the pole and had threatened the 90-year-old with legal action.
