[QUOTE="Bruno2, post: 1293978, member: 13962"] We were working at the cemetery on memorial doing a big modernization project about 15 yrs ago. They put out the veterans circle of American flags like every other cemetery does. For some crazy reason they hired some illegal aliens from like a day labor place to put them up. Well it was the typical OK weather for that time of yr rain , rain and more rain. hese aliens had all the flags laying on the ground and were walking on them and stomping them in the mud. A bunch of us were about to go balistic. We found the manager that runs the place and expressed our outrage of the treatment of the flags. She didnt care and said they will be alright. We went back to work very disgruntled. One of my co workers was putting together a flag rescue assault team. Just about when we were ready to go over there and make believers out of these two illegals a SSGT from the Marine recruiters office was passing by. He locked the car up right on Memorial dr and got out. He went over and reamed those hispanics a new one and then went straight in the blg . He came out almost immediately with most of the office staff in tow. We couldnt hear what was being said , but , we were hoopn and hollering from the scaffold. I have no idea what was said , but , the problem was addressed and taken care of . The illegals went on their way and some of the regular maintanence guys took their place. They got the flags up off the ground . They washed them up and with all due respect put the veterans circle in place as should have been. Thank God for the Marine Corp. I dont usually get bent out of shape about our flag, but , this was such a blatent disregard for our countries symbol that I was outraged. [/QUOTE]
