Grave of Southeast Texas Marine is vandalized
Houston Chronicle ^ | Oct. 20, 2007 | Associated Press

Posted on 10/20/2007 6:29:23 AM PDT by Lockbox

The gravesite of a Southeast Texas Marine killed in Iraq has been vandalized just days after hundreds of mourners turned out for his funeral.

Lance Cpl. Jeremy Burris of Liberty was 22.

Burris died Oct. 8 when an explosive device went off in the Al Anbar province. His services were held Tuesday.

Workers at Cooke Memorial Cemetery on Friday discovered flags and posters had been torn apart, plus flowers were cast aside. The incident is under investigation.

Liberty is a small town. My bet is they will find the POS who did this. Prayers for Lance Cpl. Jeremy Burris’ family.

Animals.

Is there a fund for security cameras at soldiers’ gravesites? I’d be first in line to tase these jerks.

These losers (criminals) think they are the only right way to do things and are insanely jealous of hero treatment so they think they have the right to do what ever comes to their criminal minds.

What kind of ghouls would do a thing like this? And remember, these people believe they are intellectually and morally superior.

Prayers for this Marine’s loved ones. God bless LE to find who is responsible for this hate crime.

There can't be that may moon bats in Liberty.

Round them up, Jack Bauer them. When the POS confesses, make them apologize to the family, fix the grave site, tie him to front end of the first trucker going out of town and tell the guy to let him loose at least hundred mile away

-there is always the possibility that a loved one did this in anger and does not want to admit it. Anyone who is mourning can have a breakdown and commit the act. We do not yet know who did it or why.

We live close to Liberty. I think we will take flowers to Lance Cpl. Jeremy Burris’ grave today. If that is possible. Keep his family in our FReeper family prayers, the flowers will be from all of us here. Regards, SVITW
