Why Do Squirrels Hate Freedom?

Iraq veteran details squirrel attack in park

Frank Garren is tough guy. The 6-foot-4, retired Army sergeant was awarded a Purple Heart after surviving a roadside bomb while deployed in Iraq in 2004. He knows about combat and quick reactions.

An angry squirrel is another matter, said Garren, who reported just such a run-in recently in Washington Park.

“You might expect a mugging in the park, but not to be attacked by a tree rodent,” the 34-year-old Springfield resident said Monday. “I never thought a squirrel could kick my (behind).”


Read the whole thing, you won't be sorry. Sgt. Garren has a sense of humor.

    however, when he was told he might need a rabies shot he said “As a retired military guy, I was still pretty nervous. But I’m not going to have to have one. I was current on all of my shots.”

    He'd better hope that squirrel was clean.
