Vandals Burn Dozens of American Flags Decorating Veterans' Graves, Replace With Swastikas

May 29, 2007

ORCAS ISLAND, Wash. —
Vandals burned dozens of small American flags that decorated veterans' graves for Memorial Day and replaced many of them with hand-drawn swastikas, authorities said Monday.

Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another 33 flags were in charred tatters Sunday in the cemetery, authorities said. Swastikas drawn on paper appeared where 14 of the flags had been.

Members of the American Legion on this island off Washington's northwest coast replaced the burned flags with new ones Sunday afternoon.

The vandals struck again on Memorial Day after a guard left at dawn, the San Juan County sheriff's office said. This time, the vandals left 33 of the hand-drawn swastikas.

"This is not an act of free speech. This is a crime," Sheriff Bill Cumming said in a statement released Monday afternoon.

Oh, sheesh - Why would they do that ? They should respect the deceased veterans who fought for our country ! :pissed: I can't believe that we are in a crazy world nowdays. And, yes I agree with you that it is very disgustin' of them to burn the American flags and replaced them to their Swatiskas.

Unbelievable !
 
:pissed: That's so dishonorable of them to do that.. I grew up in a military family and they do deserve the respect. They have fought hard for the country and the freedom we have here today. Seems like some of them do not appretice our soliders very much! :mad:
