Vandals Deface Mass. Sign Honoring Soldier


CHESHIRE, Mass. (AP) - The family of a Green Beret who was one of the nation's first casualties in the war on terror in Afghanistan was outraged after discovering vandals had defaced a sign honoring the soldier with anti-war graffiti.

``I felt like I was going to vomit,'' said Michael Petithory, the brother of Army Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Petithory.

``It was just pure rage,'' he told the North Adams Transcript.

Daniel Petithory was killed Dec. 5, 2001, along with two other soldiers when a U.S. bomb landed about 100 yards from their position north of Kandahar.

Michael Petithory discovered the vandalism on Thursday as he biked along the Ashuwillticook Trail.

The words ``oil,'' ``Bush'' and ``Christian Crusade'' and other phrases were written in black marker on the brown metal sign.

Family and friends cleaned the sign, which is one of three along a stretch of the trail that honors the Cheshire native. The other two signs were not vandalized.

Daniel Petithory was a recipient of the Silver Star and Purple Heart. He joined the Army shortly after graduating from Hoosac Valley High School in 1987. He is buried near family members in Cheshire Cemetery.

Police in Cheshire and Lanesborough are investigating, but there had been no arrests as of Friday evening. Cheshire, a town of approximately 3,500 residents, is about 140 miles west of Boston.

The Repubs should make use of stuff like this. Every add or commercial should focus on the scum the Dems really are.

Their parents failed them. Pity them, because they have a life of hurt ahead of them.

Is something related to the word "oil" the only new key word the anti-war liberal idiots have been able to come up with since the 1960's?

God, what a bunch of losers those people truly are.

Sheehan said she doesn't want to press charges against a pickup driver who early Tuesday allegedly ran over a makeshift memorial for the 1,800 Americans killed in Iraq. Police said he drove a pickup truck over 500 crosses and 40 American flags.

Honestly never heard of the place.  Not a democrat though, so I guess I wouldn't have.  Might have to check it out anyway and slap them around a bit too.

No, he's right.  Said actions make us look just as bad in liberal eyes as they look concerning the topic vandalism.

Indeed, her choosing not to press charges was a well calculated move.

Antis and vandals have been around for a long time.  I learned at Chickamauga National Battlefield Park that as soon as the first monuments went up, they were subject to vandalization.  Not that that was right either, but it goes to show a**holes go a long way back in this country.
