Mission Accomplished! Missing Marine colors returned

Posted: Updated:
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -

A Midlands Marine unit's colors that were in the back of a stolen truck have been recovered. 

According to the owner of the colors, John Sigh, a JROTC unit on an Adopt A Highway mission in the Lowcountry found the missing flag and banners along with their carrying case in a ditch. The only thing missing was the lower portion of the mast.

One of the cadets told his mother about it. The mother had seen our story from last night about the missing items and called a member of the Marine detachment.

Sigh says the items all look to be in good condition.

His truck, however, remains missing.
