To the editor:

This letter is directed to the person who stole my American Flag. You came onto my property and took the flag off the front of my house. Your senseless act happened under the cover of darkness, sometime on Thursday evening, Oct. 3, 2013. I appeal to you to clear your conscience and reflect on what you did that night, and do the right thing now, which is to return the flag. Just bring it back, leave it at the front door, and be on your way. It's that simple.

That flag was given to me as a gift from my family during a recent Fourth of July family gathering. I have flown the American Flag with price because I know what it represents. It's painful for me to know that my flag was stolen. I would like to offer you the opportunity to make things right, come to your senses, and return the flag.

It anyone witnessed the theft of my American Flag, or has knowledge of where the flag is now, please call the Bristol police and give them as much information as you can. Thank you.
