A woman drove over graves at Houston National Cemetery where dozens gathered to watch a flyover from the Lone Star Flight Museum commemorating the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
The woman was filmed driving her minivan over the graves of military veterans at Houston National Cemetery on Sunday.
After the flyover ended, the woman drove her minivan over the graves of veterans to avoid traffic jams.
A man filmed the disturbing moment that shows the woman driving her minivan over dozens of veterans’ gravestones to leave the Houston National Cemetery after the flyover.
Jeremiah Johnston, the man who filmed the moment, told KTRK: “I was shocked, and never would have expected that to happen. I never would have expected to see them going through a cemetery. Especially when everyone was there to pay their respects during a patriotic flyover.”
Another witness Amanda Hill said she was visiting her grandparents’ graves when she saw the woman driving her minivan over graves to leave the place as soon as the flyover ended.
Amanda said she might have driven over dozens of graves to avoid traffic jams and leave the cemetery.
She said they yelled at her but she kept going and didn’t stop her minivan.
Amanda added: “My mother approached the van, and the driver told her she had to get out.”
Amanda’s mother tried to stop the woman when she drove over her grandfather, Robert Eugene Marsh’s grave who was a First Lieutenant in the Air Force known as the Bloody Hundredbut.
However, she had to leave the way for her because she nearly hit her with her minivan.
She said the woman didn’t care that she was being filmed and just wanted to leave the place.

Amanda said: “I felt bad for the families whose loved ones’ graves were run over. It’s so disrespectful and especially on a day when we’re honoring veterans of World War ll.”
