Thueves stole much more than just a flag, but do they know it? UEAIt LUIIU R. it is Ia nuhta con- tinually have to pick up candy wrappers, pop cans and dog poop off my lawn, but now some young people have decid- ed that stealing the Canadian flag off the side of my bouse is good fun. On September 14, my wile awoke in the middle of the nigbt as two or three young people were outside our bedroom win- dow yelling -get the flag." By the trne she got to the wiidow they were rollerblading away Sure enougb the next moming our flag was gone. 1 remnember putting that flag up two years ago and having people honk their bonis and wave in appreciation as they drove by Every time my wife toward our bouse we sec the red maple leaf waving in the breeze. Our hearis f111 with pride and we know we live in the best country in the world. To the young people who stole my flag 1 hope you enjoy it as rnuch as my wife and t did and 1 hope you realize just what it stands for. Maybe if one of you looks at that flag and feels the pride we do ini Canada, this whole crummy experience will be worth it. The nexi time one of our brave men and women in the armed forces pays the ultimate sacrifice maybe you will look up frorn your video games and sec your stolen flag and say t get it now 1 highly doubt it. but maybe. t do not blame you for your drunken act of vandalism, 1 oia Uc t fiïidt l. \îti dlje momn andi -dad - you raised a buncb of drunken punks, wbo obviously have no respect for themselves or anything cIsc. My guess is the apple didn't faîl far from the tree. By the way you owe me $80. Whien 1 finished puuîing up my new flag today, t stood back on the sidewalk and smiled as it gently llapped in the wind. Despite my bliss, t could not help but wonder how long it would be hefore the nexi drunk- en teen rips it off my bouse at 2:30 in the morning because their parents failed to rnstill in them a respect for other peoples property and the appreciation for what our lag stands for.
