Bill Roe was heartbroken when he arrived at his beachside Ocean Properties to discover his beloved American flag, the largest in greater New Smyrna Beach, had been stolen from the flagpole. There is a happy ending to this story and we'll have it for you shortly, along with new videos and lots of photos.

We'll also have a story with dramatic photos out of Edgewater of a mail truck that caught fire.

EDGEWATER -- The post office motto states: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." It doesn't say anything about the mail truck catching fire.

That is exactly what occuured in the 1400 block of Willow Oak Drive in the Florida Shores subdivision when a U.S. Postal Service carrier's mail truck caught fire while he was making his appointed rounds Thursday afternoon.
