American Scofflaw
For years, Jeff Seymour collected donations of reading materials and other items from area businesses to be shipped out of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar to ship to U.S. troops overseas. Now, Seymour wants the Marines to explain to him why they unceremoniously dumped thousands of the donations into the Miramar Landfill.
A supervisor at the landfill says he witnessed a group of Marines dump as many as six pallets full of the donations—magazines, books, DVDs and hygiene products, packed in boxes plainly marked “For Our Troops in Iraq”—into the landfill last summer. A spokesperson for the air station confirmed the incident but provided multiple and at times conflicting explanations for why it happened.
