It was last month when those seals were stolen right off of the walls at the cemetery.
“It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened here. We were very fortunate that the surrounding community and area that we’re in, we haven’t had any incidents like this in the past. Luckily we’ve gone a little over nine years without this happening. But the fact that these emblems were stolen was a huge disrespect to the community and the veterans for sure,” Assistant Cemetery Director Joseph Buschell said.“I was shocked.
And they weren’t the only ones… veteran Barry Booth told FOX10 the support they got after the theft was overwhelming. “Over the period of time since the theft, numerous people wanted to make contributions to purchase new seals…It was terrific. We were so very elated and pleased. The whole community, not just us as individuals, but it was the whole community. Pleased. Very pleased,” Dr. Booth said.
The search continues for the final bronze seal belonging to the Navy. If you have any information, call police.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are. Available free in the
