THIEVES STEAL BRONZE STARS FROM VETERAN'S GRAVES

     Mpls. StarTribune - A cemetery in Isanti County, Minnesota has been raided by thieves removing 5-pointed bronze stars, with a holder on back to display an American flag, from graves of veterans.  The Commissioner of Minnesota's Department of Veteran's Affairs Larry Shellito has made it one of his priorities for the State agency to have  a 2-year supply of these special bronze stars to "accommodate the 10,000 Minnesota veterans who die each year". They cost $ 30,00 each but the metal in them is worth much less.
