In an act of penitence, a thief returned an Alabama church’s American flags with a note of apology after stealing them from a Fourth of July tribute to fallen military heroes. Rather than pressing charges, the congregation invited the remorseful thief to join them at church service.
Pastor Royce Dubose of First Baptist Church in Grand Bay, Alabama, offered forgiveness while regaling the incident to the media. “The note was very sincere,” the pastor told WPMI. “You can tell whoever took them was very, very upset with themselves.”
