Veteran’s efforts appreciated

To the editor:

First I would like to thank veteran Ronnie Rushinal for the generous gift of American flags to the town and all Veterans. He has placed the American flags throughout the town of Ashland.

As a veteran myself, I was appalled to think someone would have such disrespect for the American flag that they would steal and vandalize the property that was so graciously donated to the town.

The guilty party or parties are not only hurting Ronnie but the town and all Veterans. The American flag flies free, as a symbol of our freedom and rights, because of Veterans like myself and Ronnie.

I salute Ronnie for what he has done.
