THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL IN ANDOVER WAS MOST CERTAINLY VANDALIZED AND DEFACED BY ANTI-WAR persons
http://www.andovertownsman.com/local/local_story_248201034.html

Many veterans in town were disappointed to learn last week that someone had vandalized the town’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial, requiring the 15-month-old memorial to be sandblasted Wednesday.

The lyrics of a 1970s protest song and a reference to Iraq were scrawled on the monument in the Park. “War, what is it good for, absolutely nothin’,” was written in red marker along with a peace sign.

Near the base of the memorial where the phrase “our cause is just” is etched, a vandal wrote “just like in Iraq.”

The markings were made with some kind of felt marker, which soaked into the stone, Burke said yesterday.

I have grown to HATE the peace sign and all it stands for...

I also found out I have developed an antipathy towards VW Busses...
