Old Glory ... may she proudly wave....

Two American flags were anchored to an overpass in Augusta County in honor of SSgt. Herb Harman from Churchville. An attached plaque dedicated the flags to Herb and all our American heroes serving both around the world and here at home.

Photos of the flags were mailed to Herb ... and they have flown proudly for the past six months. Herb is currently home on a two-week leave from Baghdad, Iraq ... but he won't be able to see his flags in person.

Vandals took it upon themselves two weeks ago to bend the flag poles down and burn the flags.

American flags ... burned.

Too bad Herb couldn't see "his" flags before heading back to Baghdad to fight the bad guys ... you know ... the ones he's fighting so we can enjoy the freedoms we have in this country. Including the freedoms that make it possible for vandals to burn our American flag.

Old Glory ... may she proudly wave.
