Leah Ward's American flag stood at the end of her driveway in Colebook, a tribute to her husband, a Marine serving in Iraq.
This week, someone burned it, the second act of vandalism involving the flag since June. Ward said it's a painful reminder that not everyone supports the troops. She's offering a $650 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or people responsible.
Ward, of 113A Beech Hill Road, woke up Monday morning to find the flag at the end of her driveway destroyed by fire. All that remained was a smoldering wooden flagpole and a secondary flag, a charred plastic Marines banner.
I couldn't believe it, Ward said. Everytime I looked at that flag, I thought of my husband (Gunnery Sgt. Daniel Ward). Right now, I struggle to look at it

Unbelievable, Colebrook is not an average town in Connecticut, a tight knit community leaning right with a solid Conservative past.
These people had better not get caught by the locals, they may fall multiple times in the snow, against trees and boulders trying to run away before being held.

When they are caught, they should be slowly skinned!

"maybe the perps are from hartford county,"I'm thinking along the line of Waterbury, all the scum travel up this way to deal their drugs.

How cool is it that Squantos would take a treasure to help out a fellow Patriot with something I'm sure is so dear.
Freepers are the best, I'm always amazed by the compassion expressed by evil, self indulgent Conservatives.

Treasury Department, January 29,1861
Tell Lieutenant Caldwell to arrest Captain Breshwood, assume command of the cutter, and obey the order I gave you. If Captain Breshwood, after arrest, undertakes to interfere with the command of the cutter, tell Lieutenant Caldwell to consider him as a mutineer, and treat him accordingly. If anyone attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot.
John A. Dix, Secretary of the Treasury
