Sorry Mom, but there is no other way to describe it...
This story has been bouncing around the local newspapers and radio talk show for about a week now. Let me tell you about it.
Some stupid shit morons stole the bronze monument off of the grave of Marine Corporal John Stalvey:
A monument honoring Stalvey – a Marine sniper who died in a roadside blast in Iraq last October – has been returned to his gravesite at Chapel Park Cemetery in Brunswick.
Vandals had removed the sculpture and dumped it in a nearby neighborhood in February.Seeing the life-size rendering of a Marine's boots, helmet and M-16 rifle returned to its rightful spot Monday was gratifying, said Merillat, Stalvey's mother.
"We were really happy that what we had picked for John's grave was there again just like we meant it to be," the Glynn County resident said.
And with more concrete and sealant holding the monument in place this time, it should remain there.
In addition, Glynn County police have established regular patrols in the area.
The search for the parties responsible for the desecration – which left the monument with some broken foundation rods and damaged a small piece of the rendered rifle – goes on, however.
Detective Craig Cupp with the Glynn County Police Department said the department has received pledges for $2,000 in reward money for the arrest of the vandals, whose identities remain unknown.
A reward fund established through United Community Bank has received $465 in donations, according to Ski Vsetecka, a retired Navy veteran who established the fund.
I just sent Sean Hannity this E-mail:
Mr. Hannity,
I thought that I'd alert you to this local story here in Brunswick, Georgia about the monument on the grave of Marine Corporal John Salvey (killed in a roadside blast in Iraq last October) being stolen and later found dumped in a ditch in a nearby neighborhood.
The stolen bronze monument (combat boots, helmet, and M16) was restored this week, but we're trying to raise money to catch the bastards that did it.
Here's a link to the local newspaper story:

Can you add this story to your list of stupid liberal hate directed against our military, and give his family a mention on the air to assist in raising funds for the reward?
Best Regards...love your shows.

Don't really know what to say bout this one.
I'm a liberal and I'm pissed that the grave got vanalized too. No family deserves to have to go through that kind of thing, ever, regardless of political affiliation.
