HINSDALE, Mass. -- A Hinsdale woman is outraged that someone stole a Marine Corps flag and plaque from her home.
Jessica Swail said she hung the flag when her son, Mitchell Keil, left for boot camp last year.
She mounted a plaque next to the flag that reads "This property protected by the U.S. Marines."
She said the flag and plaque remind her of her son who is based at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and is expected to be deployed to Iraq.
Swail reported the theft to police but was told there is little they can do. She called the theft "low."
Swail said she doesn't agree with the war in Iraq, but she still supports her Marine.
