The 76-year-old Mojave Cross war memorial in San Bernardino County's High Desert has been torn down by vandals, just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the religious symbol could remain -- at least temporarily -- on public land.
Sometime Sunday night, the cross was taken down from its perch atop Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve, according to Liberty Institute, a group that represented veterans groups and caretakers of the cross in the recent Supreme Court Case.
"This is an outrage, akin to desecrating people's graves," said institute president Kelly Shackelford. "It's a disgraceful attack on the selfless sacrifice of our veterans. We will not rest until this memorial is re-installed."

OMG! EVIL on PARADE!!
0zeros would be all of the hate crime if it were some Muslim symbol that was vandalized. We’d hear about that until the end of days....
Oh thank you for reminding me right off the start today that our the enemies of the cross are enemies of my Blessed Savior.
God Help us !!

The 75-year-old monument was the target of a legal challenge from the ACLU, which charged the cross is a religious symbol that shouldn’t be allowed on public land. The U.S. Supreme Court last month refused to order that it be torn down, as the land had already been sold to private owners.
Leftists are so intolerant.
It is just a reminder - left or right - if you want something done today, you have to do it yourself.

Will it be a “legacy” cross, one with a new upright and crossbar?
The article wasn’t clear whether there was any part of the old cross found.
It was stolen, apparently. Perhaps now buried in the desert, never to be found.
Good Idea. C-130 PtMD drones on station 24/7.
Ha! Don’t hold your breath. I’m not!
But did not the same Word of God says there will be victory in the end?
“THEN it’s OUR turn.” I believe I covered that. There can be NO OTHER OUTCOME.
Yes they are
