Crosses desecration...

From Raw Story:

Morning

We woke up this morning and headed over to Camp Casey to see what we could do to pitch in. Some media were already there filming and talking to Camp Casey folks. The irony of the situation was that the guy who drove his truck through the memorial of white crosses, claims to be a "real Christian." I'm not sure how much more ironic it can get. Some of the best pics (coming soon) show two Iraq war veterans re-setting the crosses and piecing together the remains. I must say it's pretty incredible to see veterans tear up in front of a memorial they helped create.

Rude Awakening
About an hour ago, wegot a phone call from our friends up at Camp Casey saying that the line of gravemarkers along the road (Arlington West) had been run over. People there said that as they were talking to a few members of the press, a pick-up truck came down the road and stopped at the fork by the edge of the tents. The driver then jumped out and attached a pipe to the undercarriage with a chain and began to "swerve into the line of crosses," said Tammara Rosenleaf from Montana. "Then we heard the pipe being dragged over the gravemarkers and the pick-up's wheels crushing them."Out of the 800 crosses, 500 were knocked down and 100 are irrepairable. However, the driver was arrested by the local authorities.

This is a prime example of how the Crawford sheriff's department has helped to protect us and our freedom of speech over the past week and a half. A big thank you to them!

Regardless of who did this, the fact is that respect for this country's dead is not a partisan issue. Putting up memorials of our country's fallen is not a "liberal" act. It is an American act. Even a group of counter-protestors from Dallas last week draped flags and flowers over many of the gravemarkers, and many were moved to tears at the sight of the long line of dead soldiers. It's too bad that someone else who disagrees with Cindy felt they needed to wipe out the memory of our fallen in such an obscene manner.
