(WBIR) The American flag is a symbol of pride, patriotism and freedom. For 24-year Air Force Veteran Delia Foster, it was a symbol she wanted to proudly display in her front yard.

However, she said her homeowner's association is making her take down the flag pole where she flew the stars and stripes.

The association told Foster she could fly a flag from her porch, but not from the pole in her yard.

Family, friends and even strangers gathered Saturday afternoon in support to watch the flag fly for one last time.

All eyes were fixed on a familiar American symbol as it was carefully taken down.

"That was emotional for me that definitely was," said Delia Foster.

It was the last time Delia foster's flag would fly high above her home.

"What a lot of people don't realize is, military we are all family. We've met each other or not we are all family." said Kirk Kinamon.

A military man himself, Kinamon showed up after seeing something about the event on Facebook.

He brought a flag of his own, and ended up giving it to Foster to put on her front porch.
