Marine Hero’s Memorial Vandalized!

This news made me feel awful.

The memorial that honored a fallen Marine, Lance Corporal Justin Ellsworth, who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom, has been vandalized.

My staff at Move America Forward learned of this awful news from the Military Families Voice of Victory Blog - here.  More details are available from the 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America, where they wrote:

They bent a twenty-foot flagpole, draped that flag on the monument, burned a part of the flag, stole a bronze eagle, and destroyed a lot of the flowers and plants that surround it.

What’s more, the memorial was designed by Gold Star Father Greg Garvey, whose son Army Sergeant Justin W. “Hobie” Garvey died while serving this country in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
