LOS ANGELES – Memorials to veterans in a Los Angeles neighborhood and a town in Kentucky, as well as a Civil War veterans cemetery in Virginia, were damaged as the nation prepares to mark Memorial Day, officials said. A Vietnam War memorial in the Venice area of Los Angeles has been extensively defaced by graffiti. The vandalism occurred sometime during the past week, KCAL/KCBS-TV reported. The homespun memorial painted on a block-long wall on Pacific Avenue lists the names of American service members missing in action or otherwise unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. News of the vandalism came as another veterans-related memorial was reported damaged in Henderson, Kentucky. Police say a Memorial Day cross display there that honors the names of 5,000 veterans of conflicts dating back to the Revolutionary War has been damaged by a driver who plowed through the crosses early Saturday. In Virginia, the Petersburg National Battlefield has apparently has been looted, the National Park Service said. Numerous excavations were found at the Civil War battlefield last week, Jeffrey Olson, and agency spokesman, said in a news release Friday. Petersburg National Battlefield is a 2,700-acre park marks where more than 1,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died fighting during the Siege of Petersburg 151 years ago. There are three groups of people who should be number one suspects in the defacing of these three veteran memorials, and those are BLM, Muslims, and illegal immigrants. It's obviously easy to tell, for the defaced memorials where one was in L.A., one was a civil war memorial, and the last one crosses were destroyed. We also shouldn't put the Westboro baptist church out of the list of suspects either, because when it comes to those who served they consider the death of a service member as a form of gods punishment. If you have a problem with those that serve our country when you live in America, your ass really needs to consider leaving the United States of America. Being against those who served and going as far as defacing the memorials, shows a threat of you living in the United States of America.
