A Plymouth, Mass., woman taking an online beating for posting a photo of herself flipping the bird at Arlington National Cemetery on Facebook has lost her job.
LIFE Inc. of Hyannis -- a Cape Cod nonprofit that helps adults with special needs -- announced that Lindsey Stone, along with a co-worker who snapped the offending photo, are no longer working there.
"Lindsey resigned and we accepted her resignation," LIFE Inc. CEO Diane Enochs told the Herald.
Ironically, the formal announcement was made on Facebook.
"We wish to announce that the two employees recently involved in the Arlington Cemetery incident are no longer employees of LIFE. Again, we deeply regret any disrespect to members of the military and their families. The incident and publicity has been very upsetting to the learning disabled population we serve. To protect our residents, any comments, however well-intentioned, will be deleted. We appreciate your concern and understanding as we focus on the care of our community," the statement reads.

Over 1,200 people attended funeral services today for a fallen Plymouth soldier.
Army Specialist Steven E. Gutowski, a 24-year-old graduate of Plymouth North High School, was killed last month in Afghanistan when his unit was attacked by insurgents with explosives.
“There was an amazing, amazing outpouring,” said Cheryl Chamallas, Gutowski’s older sister. “So many people in the community attended.”
Chamallas gave the eulogy at St. Peter’s Church in Plymouth. She described her brother as a family man, an Army man, a gentleman, and a man’s man.

Plymouth veterans win fight over studio sign
Plymouth veterans win fight over studio sign

Globe Correspondent / July 3, 2008
PLYMOUTH - Plymouth Rock Studios, the group of California film executives responsible for the 50-foot "Hollywood East" sign on the front lawn of the 1820 Plymouth County Courthouse, couldn't take the heat.
The company notified the Plymouth County Commissioners office yesterday that the sign would be dismantled and carted away before throngs of tourists arrive in America's Hometown for tomorrow's July Fourth parade.
Veterans, enraged because the oversized letters blocked two 20-year-old memorials to veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars, had been planning a protest on the courthouse lawn during tomorrow's celebration.
"I say 'Hurray,' " said Alba Thompson, vice commander of the town's Veteran's Council. "It would have been awful to have that sign blocking the veterans' memorials, particularly on Independence Day."
