Tim Kaine Sends Flag to Replace One Stolen From American Legion Post in Arlington

A U.S. senator is stepping up to help some Arlington veterans replace a stolen American flag.

The American flag was ripped down and stolen from the American Legion Post 139 in Arlington on Tuesday. A POW flag was also found on the ground.

Senator Tim Kaine heard about the stolen flag and arranged for a new flag to be sent to the post.

"I hope they enjoy this new flag which was flown over the U.S. Capitol!," Kaine wrote on Facebook.
