I am astonished by the lack of consciousness from some human beings. What kind of person steals a flag from a veteran's grave? A friend of mine is extremely distraught because someone actually stole the flag and flag pole from her husband's grave. I'm not certain of the cost for replacement but whatever it is, she cannot afford it as she is raising a child alone and has little to spend on extras. She had sacrificed once to purchase this out of respect for her husband and his service in the military. Then, poof, it's gone. Stolen from the grave.
I am curious to know if the thief is flying it at their own home or did they sell it? Who buys used (and previously located on a grave site) flags? I understand that stealing in general is wrong. And, yes, all sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord. But don't you think that stealing from the deal ranks a little higher on the scale of evilness than, say, shoplifting a shirt? I would honestly be afraid of lightening striking me dead if I were to attempt to steal from a dead person's grave. Sad. Pathetic. Disgusting. Shameful. I am simply appalled.
