That's my point. And if it was caused by a leaky lawnmower or bug-sprayer, it's damage, not desecration.
tgslTakoma just called me at work. She went down to the memorial with a video camera. She’s on her way back and she’s going to post the video on Google Video or YouTube.
She told me the oil marks run the entire length of the wall and appear to be blantant intentional defacing. She’ll have more to show and tell when she gets back. Stay tuned.
