The Vietnam War Memorial in Washington DC was vandalized
Friday night, September 7th. There were no witnesses to the
act of desecration which was discovered by a Park Service
employee.
The vandal appears to have walked along the wall while
squirting an oil based substance from a container on the
lower sections of the panels. The liquid discolored the
polished surface of the stone memorial and was absorbed into
the porous stone where the names of our fallen heroes are
etched into the wall.
Many names have become unreadable due to the absorbtion of
the fluid.
On March 17th a large number of veterans and patriots
gathered around the area of the Vietnam War Memorial to
prevent just such a threatened desecration by the radical
leftist demonstrators associated with the ANSWER coalition,
SDS and the Black Cloc. An attempt was made to deface the
memorial late that day but was stopped by National Park
Police with several radicals arrested.
No radical group has stepped forward yet to claim
responsibility for this outrage to the memory of our
veterans. It is unlikely any will.
