As a woman acted as his lookout, a scumbag urinated on multiple American flags at a veterans
cemetery. Here are the vandals’ photos — let’s make them famous!
George Gatteny was driving near the Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Massachusetts
on Monday when he noticed a man pulling miniature American flags from the ground. This was disturbing
enough, but what Gatteny witnessed next made his blood boil. “Never imagined what I was
about to see,” he said.
After uprooting the miniature American flags that had been placed at the graves of veterans,
the man threw them on the ground behind a statue and urinated on them.
Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery is the final resting place for many who served our
country. George Gatteny says the usual calm and tranquility was disrupted by the sights
and sounds of disrespect.

Gatteny got out of his car and started screaming at the vandals before snapping a photo of
the flags strewn on the ground covered in urine. Although he tried to confront the pair,
they quickly took off. “They were walking, talking, as if nothing happened,” said Gatteny.
He posted the photo of the defiled flags on Facebook, where the image was met with mass
outrage from concerned patriots. Some have even threatened violence against the couple
if they are found.
According to Somerville Veterans Services, the Somerville Veterans Memorial Cemetery
contains remains of soldiers killed in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam Wars,
and the 1983 Beirut bombing. Gatteny said he just wants to make sure they continue to
be honored and respected for their service. “The freedom you think you have, to do what
you want? They died for it,” he said.
Indeed, this misguided leftist and his girlfriend would have never had the opportunity to do
something this vile if not for the brave men and women who literally sacrificed everything
for our freedoms. This level of entitlement and disrespect is unfathomable.
The Somerville Police released a photo of the male suspect in hopes that the public
can assist in identifying him. He has blonde hair and a tattoo on his forearm. Anyone with
information on the male’s identity is asked to call 617-625-1600 Ext. 7238.
If these allegations are true, they are offensive not only to our community and our own veterans
but to our entire nation and those who served and continued to serve,” Mayor Joseph Curatone
said in a statement. “Following the full investigation by the Somerville Police Department,
I am confident that anyone who may be found guilty will be held fully responsible for
these despicable actions.”
Police are now in search of the young scumbags who committed this despicable act. Please
help us make their pictures go viral by sharing this report. They should have to pay for their
indecent behavior. They must be found. And, someone out there knows exactly who they are.
