Vandal torches American flag, damages truck in Auburn

A man who lives at an Auburn apartment complex found the American flag he’d been flying from his truck for the Memorial Day weekend had been set on fire and his truck damaged.

Allen Tullar told KIRO 7 TV that tenants are not allowed to fly flags at his apartment complex, so he was flying one on his truck instead.

But sometime between midnight and 6 a.m. Sunday, a vandal set it on fire, causing cosmetic damage to his shiny red truck. A window also cracked from the heat.

Tullar said he is proud of his country and finds the act to be extremely disrespectful, but his patriotism wasn’t stopped by the vandal. He got another flag, which is again flying from his truck Monday.
