Re: Stolen Flags
Oh, John, I'm sorry. What a mean, ugly thing to do. I wish that people would teach their kids the meaning of the flag, the blood that was shed for it, the pride and love in it.
Now, I'm an Army brat and truly have been taught that Marines are okay to make jokes about them since they are such leathernecks. (Sorry!) I also plead guilty to the fact that I might just have considered swiping a Marine flag as a kid if I thought I could get away with it but more because of rivalry issues than any true meanness. Whoever took your flags was certainly not doing it in that spirit.
So, as a military brat proud of her father's and brother's service, I would humbly like to offer to either assist in buying or buy you a new American flag. Sorry, my dad would roll over in his grave if I bought a Marine flag.
Having said that, SEMPER FI
