Veterans tried to dismantle a Maine peace group's protest against the Iraq War on Veteran's Day. Associated Press WATERVILLE, Maine - Protesters led by a veterans post tried to remove a flag display placed by peace activists at a veterans cemetery, and five were charged with criminal trespass. The display remained intact Friday, Veterans Day, despite a threat by at least one of the protesters to return later to finish yanking up the flags. The display of 2,000 white flags, meant to remember U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq, was set up at Veterans Memorial Park cemetery Oct. 30 under a permit issued to Waterville Area Bridges for Peace and Justice. |
