Marine Veterans Beloved American Flag Vandalized
Marine Veterans Beloved American Flag Vandalized
Retired Marine Marvin Hernandez Garcia mounted an American flag in front of his house, the same flag that he carried with him on duty across five continents.
One morning last week, the vet woke up to find his car smashed with the flag pole and the flag desecrated with a marker.
“The message that I would like to say is America is still the greatest country in the world,” Hernandez Garcia said on “Fox and Friends Weekend.” “It’s not something that we are just brainwashed with. We are still the greatest country. We got problems. Everybody does.”
“The flag represents freedom. When you step on the flag, you really are stepping on those veterans that have really fought for you. And everybody else, including your own parents, grandparents and great-grandparents and so forth,” Hernandez Garcia said.
Wild Thing's comment............
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”― Samuel Adams

I don't know if this was a random teenage prank or a deliberate attack on the patriotism of a veteran. Either way it is a sick act.
