very big story on the Island right now.
I'm in Parksville for bit and it was being discussed at the local coffee shop this morning . . . some very disgusted and angry Veterans - their a lot of retired Vets in this area.
Sickening, the desecration of war dead and veterans' graves. What kind of mind would do such a debased act?! One can't imagine the distress this inflicts on the loved ones of the deceased whose graves were violated.
