Unhappy Families United

A letter from John Ellsworth, LCPL Justin Ellsworth’s father is below:

For those of you that do not know me, my name is John Ellsworth and I am the Vice President of Families United. My son made the ultimate sacrifice for his country when he was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004. To honor my son, the citizens of the City of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan erected a monument in September of 2005. The citizens of Mt. Pleasant collected the funds and paid for the monument and the city provided the area near the Michigan Vietnam Memorial. In July of 2007, vandals tore down the flagpole and burned the American Flag over the monument.

This happened again on Monday night when hateful vandals tore apart my son’s monument and stole the bronze inverted rifle and kevlar.

My family and I are absolutely devastated at this action and feel like we are mourning his loss all over again. These vandals have taken an honorable and elegant monument to our son and made it a focal point of their hatred and destruction. They have not only dishonored the memory of my son, but also the service and sacrifice of every American veteran that has risked their life in defense of this country.

John Ellsworth, Proud Father of LCPL Justin Ellsworth, KIA 11/13/04

Thumbs down No Souls.

Just as Frisco spoke of those that are cruel to animals having no souls so it is with those that did this shameful, despicable act. No Souls.
