Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano stands accused of damaging an Iwo Jima statue. Credit: Prince William County Police Department A Virginia man has been arrested after allegedly getting caught in an incredibly sickening act that betrays those who bled for our country during World War II.
As InsideNoVa.com reported, Prince William County police officers responded to an incident involving the historic Iwo Jima monument in Quantico near Richmond Highway and Fuller Road.
The statue is located roughly two miles from Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
Upon arrival, officers found a thug who has since been identified as 27-year-old Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano of Stafford.
Police say he was actively damaging the structure using a sledgehammer.
The officers quickly detained Maldonado Soriano.
Police later noted extensive destruction to the monument, including the removal of one of the soldiers’ heads. All told, the damage to the monument is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
According to InsideNoVa.com, Maldonado Soriano has been charged with the following offenses: felony destruction of property, trespass with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument.
Maldonado Soriano is being held without bond. Per WJLA, his court date is pending.
Police have not revealed why Maldonado Soriano decided to attack the monument.
As Patch.com notes, the Iwo Jima statue stands near one entrance to Marine Base Quantico and is a short walk from the National Museum of the Marine Corps. It was carved out of limestone by Felix de Weldon in 1945.
The Quantico statue is one of several smaller-scale statues Weldon created of the scene.
Patch.com also notes that Weldon would recreate the scene as the 100-ton bronze Iwo Jima Monument. This currently sits in front of Arlington National Cemetery.
The Arlington National Cemetery monument was dedicated in 1954.

He’s a DACA “Dreamer” living his dream of destroying America’s traditions/history.

Rope and a tree is a good solution to this hispanic scum.
There are few things that make my blood boil more than this. What in God’s name possessed this person.
Drop him into Parris Island. Let nature take its course. Easy to get lost in the swamp.
Fox News:
“Illegal alien with former DACA status accused in Iwo Jima statue attack: sources”
Just not seeing this in gateway pundit article
Do they need help over there?
Beheading patriotic statues that Americans won’t behead.
Marine not soldier.
Criminal Invader is the term I prefer. Drop his worthless butt off in Afghanistan.
They don’t have the money and lawyers that Fox does, so they have to be careful what they put in print.....................
I truly wish that all people that hate this country as founded would just leave.
Think of all the taxpayer money that would be saved. Pay a one-way ticket to the country of their choosing for all these malcontents and freeloaders. The country would be saving money in the long run. They aren’t producers and contribute nothing to society.
Deport his @zz.
After taking redundant organs out for Americans.
They need to pay a price for their crimes that helps others.
Thank you.
Have him climb Mt Sirabacha carrying his Mexican flag dodging bullets and bombs and when he gets to the top have a rifle squad waiting for him.
Why not tattoo an picture of Moe the Ham Mad on his neck and drop him off in Ham Tramck, Michigan and see how long it takes for the Pig Haters to decapitate him.
“I truly wish that all people that hate this country as founded would just leave”
A the store yesterday some ilhan Omar level imperious, loud woman stomping through, dressed in so much gauze head to below her feet looking like a banshee, blabbing.orders into the phone, no intention of ever talking to an American
Go home
