Care to guess the politics of whoever perpetrated this outrage?

The gravesite of a Southeast Texas Marine killed in Iraq has been vandalized just days after hundreds of mourners turned out for his funeral.

Lance Cpl. Jeremy Burris of Liberty was 22.

Burris died Oct. 8 when an explosive device went off in the Al Anbar province. His services were held Tuesday.

Workers at Cooke Memorial Cemetery on Friday discovered flags and posters had been torn apart, plus flowers were cast aside. The incident is under investigation.

I cannot even begin to express my horror and outrage over this evil deed.

My prayers are with the Burris family as they struggle with the new pain these America-hating cretins have perpetrated against them and their son, who gave his life for his country.

Here is coverage of Lance Corporal Burris' funeral earlier this week.

UPDATE: Haven't had a chance to get back to this one, but Lee's comment does lead me to link to this story -- which indicates the motive was greed, not hatred of the troops.
