Found this in another forum, AUGH WTF??????
FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) -- Vandals tore American flags out of the yard of a dead soldier's family the day after his funeral, then set a car on fire, authorities said.
Army Pfc. Tim Hines died July 14 of complications of injuries he suffered last month in a roadside bombing in Baghdad. His funeral was Friday.
On Saturday, someone pulled the flags out of the family's yard, stuffed them under a car in the driveway and set the whole thing on fire. Firefighters doused the blaze and no one was injured, but the car was destroyed.
No arrests had been made by early Tuesday. Authorities offered a $5,000 reward for tips.
''As we get into this, we feel it was more of a crime of opportunity as opposed to a planned act,'' Police Chief Mike Dickey told CNN Tuesday morning.
Lt. Ken Colburn, a police spokesman, said authorities hope ''that anyone stupid enough to do something like this will be stupid enough to talk about it and someone else will come forward.''
Neighbors bought the family new flags. ''I went by later that morning, Saturday morning, and there must have been 200 flags that had been brought in and reposted,'' Dickey said.
The car belonged to the sister-in-law of Hines. Fairfield is in Butler County, 13 miles north of Cincinnati.

that is crazy. before I joined the army I didn't really have any of that good old national pride or whatever but to dishonor a person who has died period is just strait screwed up. let alone somebody who died being a member the armed forces that protect the place you live and the life you are able to live.

I have always respect the military and or country. Im tired of this type of BS. Let me see someone doing something like that. I can honestly say I HATE people that burn our Flag. I feel bad for the family they have enough to deal with.

ouch, I really don't even know how to respond to that. Hopefully they'll get caught soon.
