A retired New York City firefighter who responded to 9/11 said he found an American flag stuffed into a portable toilet at a softball field where he played in a league for senior citizens in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., this week. Then 63-year-old Navy veteran Johnny Bellezza found it stuffed in the toilet, soaked in filth, the Poughkeepsie Journal reported. "This is just absolutely the most disrespectful act against the flag I've seen in my lifetime," Edwards told the outlet. Police told the Poughkeepsie Journal that they did not have any suspects but would be increasing patrols in parks around town.
