Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office escorts 5 Vietnam vets to their final rest

Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia, the same folks who are going after valor thief Shane Ladner, were escorting the unclaimed remains of five Vietnam Veterans yesterday.

The unclaimed cremated remains of 5 Vietnam Vets were buried today at the Georgia National Cemetery. The Cherokee Sheriff’s Office Traffic Enforcement Unit was honored to participate in a portion of the escort for these fallen heroes.

      To bad those accused “baby killers” didn’t get this kind of respect when they came home! We threw our uniforms away, didn’t want all the crap when we went out in the public! The clinton bullshyt generation!!!
