Valley City  (Valley News Live) – A Valley City woman’s Facebook posting has received over 159 reactions,  within a day, when she related that  she  is missing something special from her military garden.

Valley City locals say it’s not the only garden in the city  that’s been vandalized.

Valley News Live reported in an interview with Donna Lemer that she calls it her military garden: with its red, white and (at the right time of year) blue flowerssaing that it’s emptier these days.

She commented that, “I bought it in memory of my dad and in honor of my son.”

Lemer adds that the ‘military man’ statue stood in her garden in honor of her late father, a Vietnam army veteran, and her son, who served in the National Guard.

Lemer says “He just sat there with the two flags and by the road, so that as people drove by they knew that we supported our American veterans.”

She stated, “I was really surprised by the number of people who knew that little, tiny, round, beat-up garden even existed,  I think one person said, ‘I drive by there and look at him every time I go to bingo.”
