How Long Until This Happens Here For Veterans Day?

[fightingquaker13]

I don't know any details beyond what 2 How posted, But my Dad (a decorated Korean war Marine combat veteran  ) used to mow the lawn at a local Cemetery.
He said that stuff like that was a royal PITA when he was trying to mow.

Dangerous too if they use those little wire spikes like construction flags. All it takes is for one of those to lose the flag, get bent in half, and after its good and rusty, stab dear old Ethel in the foot when she's visting her husband's grave to get your azz sued off. I can see banning them, or at least restricting the type and manner of display.

Did they give any reasons for this?

Was it because of the cost of cleaning up all the flags in the weeks to come when they blow off the graves and become litter, for instance?

Or was it some kind of attempt at Political Correctness?

They take them down on friday after V. day no worries about left overs. They said it was because it was a separation deal, ya know "church and state'.  crap.

Crap indeed if that's the case. Since when did state become church? I can see prohibiting crosses if there were Jewish graves or something. But flags? WTF?

This better not ever happen here. I'll need bail, and a good lawyer if it does.

I've often wondered if the Local Sheriff would allow one to Pre Pay Bail Money?  Of course that would bring your charges into the Pre meditated category but hey, in this case it would so be worth it.

It would also scare the crap out of people.
"Sir, can I help you"?
"Yeah, I'd like to but up 10k for bail money".
"OK, what for"?
"I'm not really sure yet, probably aggravated assault, maybe manslaughter, and there will definately be weapons charges.  Is this where I pay"?

Oh..is there an installment plan?


I used to wish for a similar plan for speeding ticket.  Maybe buy 2 prepaid each year when I renewed my vehicle tags.

Get pulled over, hand the officer a voucher and be on your way.
