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

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 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.

It is unknown who did this to The Wall, and apparently the US Park Police did not know about this damage until today; though the Park Service employees knew about it.

And one thing is certain.
This was done by someone on the Left.

Looks petroleum based the way it penetrated the concrete and the Memorial.

Of course it would be too much to ask for the govt to guard these sites.

I don't know the answer to that.
If they don't, they should.

Socialism rears its ugly head again. Anything to destroy our democratic republic and demoralize our troops. They are getting bolder thanks to the socialists in Congress.

Video cameras and guards would be nice. That way the oh-so-mature people who do things like this can be paraded for the country to see.

tgsl, I can not image any national memorial sites that do not have survalance in DC.

I can not comprehend the mentality of the people that would this. If caught, they should be sent out as IED detonators in Iraq.

The cowards who did this had better not e-v-e-r, never, tell anyone that they did it, or boast about it, or utter a peep, or do anything else that will give away their identity......
....for I am sure that there will be a couple of Vets who would love to discuss the matter with them....
