Disgraceful
 
The Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter always decorate their gate beautifully for the holidays. This memorial day they had large banners for each of the armed forces hanging at the entrance. Today I saw a sign at the gate asking for the return of the Air Force banner. Obviously someone took the banner. Unbelieveable!!

I agree. If they catch them they should cut their finger off before they put them in jail.

Where I come from in Iowa, that would be a reason for an authorized legal execution.

Amazing what a couple of posters want to do to a person that took a banner that stands for people who stood up for liberty! One wants to cut off their fingers and the other want to execute the person. Aren't both of those penalties what is being done to criminals in those parts of the world that hate America?

Who knows, maybe the wind blew the banner off the wall? Whatever the cause, it is wrong - even in hyperbole - to express views like the two above.

Thank you Buggyone for your reply. I'm almost to the point of not wanting to read TOTV... there is so much hatred and anger expressed here. Yikes... Are there that many angry people living here?

I am sorry to hear about the missing banner! I hope it is returned quickly!

Also, as Gracie always says, there is no PEE in Lake Sumter.
SO: Buggyone, do you think It might be an over reaction to execute the person for this offence. LOL I agree. :crap2:

When I drove by, I saw the wind blowing them around, maybe it flew off in the breeze???

Saw what the neighborhood did to acknowledge Memorial Day---thought it was wonderful---also saw the note about returning their Air Force Banner----really don't think it could have blown off---it would not have gone far----all I felt was sadness that someone might possibly have taken the banner.

Does anyone know if the missing banner has turned up?
