Cemetery staff in South Carolina returned to work the day after celebrating July 4th to find several American flags pulled from the ground and burned.
The Forest Lawn Memorial Park places 30 American flags on the roadway leading up to its veterans mausoleum every Independence Day, which they call the"Avenue of Flags," Jay Hodge, funeral director for the McDougald Funeral Home, told ABC News. Cemetery staff discovered on July 5 that 21 of the flags had been stolen and scorched on the property, Hodge said. The remaining flags were left intact in the ground."This has never happened before, but unfortunately there are folk out in the area that just are not very nice and are destructive, so that's what has taken place," Hodge said.The funeral home and cemetery have received support from veteran's group and the local community to replace the flags, Hodge said.
A representative from the sheriff's office did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

Pretty sure the culprits vote Democrat.

21 American flags burned in South Carolina cemetery on July 4thThe flags, which measured four feet by six feet and sat atop an eight-foot pole, had been planted near the veterans mausoleum at Forest Lawn cemetery in Anderson, South Carolina I think burning the flag is crappy. But I also think if people didn't treat it like a slice of the true cross, people wouldn't find such rich power and symbolism in desecrating it.

Watch deputy save newborn baby in car he had stopped for speedingWhen the deputy stopped a car for speeding, a woman in the vehicle told him her baby wasn't breathing. 😢 Dear sweet little baby. Thank god the officer did not shoot first, ask questions later. ❤️ Nothing he did saved that baby’s life. The baby likely had a vasovagal episode and would have recovered without any intervention. Nice that he tried to help though 👍🏻 Everyday anonymous heroes.
