Casper Businesses Band Together to Replace Stolen Flowers for 91 Year Old Veteran
Casper is...special.
In bigger cities, unfortunately, too often people choose to look the other way when bad things happen. But in Wyoming, in Casper, when our community members see injustice, they don't just offer 'thoughts and prayers.' They get to work.
That's exactly what happened today when a social media post told the story of the flowers of a 91-year-old veteran being stolen out of his front yard.
It started with a woman named Cyndy Farrar Latka, who posted a few pictures to her social media page of a sign written by the 91-year-old veteran, asking for his stolen flowers to be returned.
Judging by the pictures, the man's flowers and his flower pots were stolen, right from his front yard.
"What is the world coming to?" she wrote. "This is across from the Casper Rec Center. And it about broke my heart. I hope I see him out in the yard so I can help with replacing his flower pots."
Shortly after she posted that, The Odd Duck LLC, as well as Peter Picked a Picture Frame and Painting, and Katies Kountry Garden got to work.
