Vietnam Memorial Wall Defaced This Weekend (September 7-9, 2007)
Eyewitnesses to the damage, Concretebob, Mr. and Mrs. Trooprally ^ | September 9, 2007

Posted on 09/09/2007 6:55:45 PM PDT by tgslTakoma

Mrs. Trooprally called me this evening to tell me that she and her husband, as well as Concretebob, saw damage along almost the entire length of the Vietnam Memorial Wall. They found this damage this morning, when they walked through the area before participating in the September 11th Freedom Walk.

Concretebob was told by a National Park Service employee that the damage was done on Friday night. There was no police report taken or written about the vandalism, apparently. And the damage was still very much there today.

Here are a few of the photos that Mrs. Trooprally took this morning...

This first one is not so noticeable, but as they walked into the center, it got worse.

It seems like a oil that has and acid in it; As you go up the Wall some the names can not be read!!!


It looks like the person who did this walked along The Wall with some type of container, perhaps hidden at their side so that they could squirt the oily substance without being caught in the act.

The names along the lower part of The Wall appear to have taken the brunt of the damage.

Because of the reflective nature of The Wall, Mrs. Trooprally had a tough time capturing the extent of the damage. Mr. Trooprally said that the oily substance has discolored the shiny stone, but that it has been absorbed into the more porous area where the names are etched into The Wall.

If it is body fluids you have evidence, if you can get LE to collect it.

Filthy, low life scum! How low, mean and miserable a creature would you have to be to deface this memorial? Hope they spend the rest of their lifes suffering with a wounded conscience...but they won’t.

It looks like oil to me. Bet it was squirted out of a bottle of some kind.

more and more scum&ags are making their attitudes known; this anonymous swine and those who couch their disdain in so-called patriotism associated with “dissent”.

the sad part is that a large part of the electorate is like the scu&bags, and they vote for scu%bags and so they re-produce exponentially just like scu&bags.

Unfortunately, you are correct. And some of those people sit in Congress. Despicable.

Be careful with your prognostication that this damage was done by someone from the left.
It won’t take long before you hear a politician or newsman tell us that this damage most likely was done by the right in order to “logically “ blame it on the left.

The same rectal orifices that object to the troops and this monument are the same rectal orifices that are subscribing to PC history. They are going after US history, both North and South, and applying PC to it so they can destroy our heritage...

Next they will be playing toesy with the left handed butt wipers and destroying all of our history and replacing them with monuments to Mohalland's child molestation and the heaven turned into a whorehouse with virgins.

I hear you. I was paying attention in 1973. I understand that they have their beliefs. I just can not comprehend how they come to their beliefs and actions. It is too alien to me.

I don’t think this will cause any permanent damage, even if it is a petro-based substance. But it’s certain the intent was there.

Exactly!

If they catch who did this, they can throw their sorry asses in a cold dark room for the rest of their lives as far as I am concerned.

If the surface is all stone, and the oily substance is organic, you probably can get it removed with solvent (isopropyl Alcohol, Acetone or even Goo Gone.

Probably should test the least important areas first to make sure it works without creating more damage...
