Vandals burned dozens of small American flags that decorated veterans' graves for Memorial Day and replaced many of them with hand-drawn swastikas, authorities said Monday.
Forty-six flag standards were found empty and another 33 flags were in charred tatters Sunday in the cemetery, authorities said. Swastikas drawn on paper appeared where 14 of the flags had been.
Members of the American Legion on this island off Washington's northwest coast replaced the burned flags with new ones Sunday afternoon.
The vandals struck again on Memorial Day after a guard left at dawn, the San Juan County sheriff's office said. This time, the vandals left 33 of the hand-drawn swastikas.
The is probably some attempt by the lunatic left, or "progressives" as they're called, to protest the War on Terror. Abu Ghirab would be too good for those people. The one under Saddam because that's when there was REAL torture. I suggest first smashing their teeth out with a ball peen hammer. Then:

A similar incident happened in Delaware County, Pennsylvania
As veterans and their families filtered in to a local American Legion on Memorial Day, they found a somber scene.
Swastikas were sprayed all over the Manoa American Legion building in Delaware County, prevalently displayed and polluting the patriotic look of the veterans’ sanctuary.
"I was just shocked to think that someone would come to a place like this and desecrate it with a swastika,” said Phil Miller of American Legion Manoa Post 667. “Especially on Memorial Day. It's just horrible.”
Some volunteers spent the day of honor and remembrance painting over the fresh swastika graffiti that tarnished the post.
