Local thugs "tag" local Veterans Memorials by spray-painting gang signs on them. This disgusting thing happened sometime yesterday. Just two or so weeks ago, and at taxpayers expence, the long-neglected Nueces County Veterans Memorial; was re-dedicated by some Gold-Star Mothers. Names of those killed in both Gulf Wars and in other actions, had just been added to this memorial to honor them. Oh...but this is not the only recent case of some jerks going out and desecrating War memorials:
Just two weeks ago in the small City of Robstown, an American flag was stolen from their local memorial.
About a week ago, the American flags that were at the Vets Memorial in the small city of Rockport, were also stolen.
Less than a week ago, both American flags that were at the Veterans Memorial at Sherrill Park (Named after a local Navy man who was killed in action at Pearl Harbor) were stolen. The veterans group who looks after the up-keeping of Sherrill Park is vowing to keep replacing the American flags there until these punks are arrested.
On the above disgusting event that happened here yesterday, there was a Vietnam War Veteran who was weeping at the dishonoring of these brave soldiers killed in battle. I, like this Vietnam Vet, just cannot fathom why some punk could do this kind of thing? I guess it is akin to jerks who break into and steal from Churches (sadly which also has been happening around here a lot lately)
