A statue representing service members in Veterans Plaza at Teague Park in Longview has been destroyed.

Air Force veteran David Applewhite of Gladewater, who is involved with the Veterans Recognition Foundation, posted a photo on his Facebook page of the overturned statue.

FOLLOW UP: Group pays to replace vandalized Longview veterans plaza statue "One of the statues guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier monument has been pushed over by vandals at the Veterans Plaza in Longview," Applewhite wrote. "Was not young children who did this."

Officials with the group who oversees the plaza later said the destroyed statue is not that of the Unknown Soldier, but that it represents every service member.

The veterans plaza, which was officially dedicated in November 2015, holds permanent markers for each American war since World War I.

The Acceptable Right cheered when Nikki Haley removed the battle flag in South Carolina.

Now people are all surprised when the ethnic cleansing of American history didn’t stop there.

We are seeing a replay of 1690 in which people scream, howl, fall on the ground and cry WITCHES! And everyone notices them.
Not the witches are inert statues.

“Darn shame if some of the vandals get shot...”

They are no different than looters. They should be shot on sight.

Who ever thought that this nonsense would be confined to Confederate monuments?
