Thieves targeted an American Legion post in Channelview three times in less than a week.
Eli Cedillo is the finance officer for the American Legion Post 644 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10462. Eli said both veterans service organizations, which share a building on Market Street, are suffering a financial loss following a string of burglaries that began on Dec. 4.
“One of our members had a sword that had USS Texas put on it,” he said. “And we had it all put on a shadow box.” “It’s the small places like this that for some of us get us through. And for it just to be torn apart by people who obviously don’t care is saddening,” Wright said. “I really hope that they can possibly come back and possibly return the stuff they’ve actually stolen,” he said.
