So do we salute them for being patriotic, or do they end up as squirrel stew for lunch for destroying the flag's? <img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle>



Cemetery's Flags Found in Squirrel Nest

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (AP) -- Groundskeepers at Forest Hill Cemetery thought it was kids who were stealing dozens of American flags. That is, until one found a giant squirrel's nest.

"I was mowing, looked up out into the distance, and something caught my eye," said Dave Ender, a groundskeeper employed by the Eau Claire Parks and Recreation Department.

He drove his riding lawnmower to a nearby street intersection and looked up a tree.

"Low and behold, I found the missing flags," Ender said.

They were ripped and serving as the foundation of a giant squirrel nest.

"I never seen anything like that before," he said.

No one at the cemetery had ever seen a squirrel with a flag in its mouth, either.

"They must have done it at night, or very early in the morning," Ender said.


"Those little rascals, they're just amazing," he said.

Saw a short news clip on this story this evening. From what it looked like these werent no small flags!
The nest looked to be about 5 feet tall and atleast that wide from what I saw!
Flags appeared to be moderate sized, not the usual little flags on a stick you push in the ground.
The cemetary has apparently decided to leave the flag nest as is.
