Protect Our Veterans

We lost my dad March 14 and my Auntie three weeks later on April 7th my mom lost her husband of 56 years and her younger and only sister three weeks later. Our family has been thru hell especially younger ones with the loss of two of our family trees main branches. My has been suffering every day. On Friday night August 12th my daughter placed flowers for Poppis first birthday in heaven on Sunday morning when the rest of the family went to the grave for his birthday her flowers were gone. I put a dozen roses in an unusual color in one holder and mom put a huge mixed assortment in another holder. Being it was his first birthday without him it was an extremely emotional day for us all. Mom went back today Tuesday August 16 and was devasted when not only all the flowers were stolen but the sick person took the holder also. How sad and pathetic are these people. We need to let people know that they will be watched from now on and maybe if this gets out it will make everyone aware of what's going on. My mom stood at the grave today not only crying like she does every time she visits dad but today she was sobbing to see everything was gone. My dad was a proud Army Veteran. We come from a family of Veterans. My dads Nephew Lawrence Rose 101st Airborne was killed in Vietnam. My dads wish was to be buried at the Veterans Cemetery so that what mom did. Now we have to be more upset because things we leave to honor dad are being stolen. Please read the following started by Veteran Chris Day and also watch the Fios 1 news report and look for a Lohud article next week. If no one comes forward and helps us to prosecute the thief or thieves the money will be donated to a Local Veterans Organization. Thank you all from the bottom of our Broken Hearts. Love The Croci Family
