The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is looking for the person(s) who tagged a memorial for Vietnam veterans in Venice.
The graffiti showed up this week on the wall which was painted by a Vietnam veteran in 1992 and has 2,273 names on it, according to ABC 7. “You are not forgotten” – which is normally part of the wall was covered by the vandalism.
“It’s a desecration of something that’s a tribute to people who went off to war, in a very unpopular war, and they never came back,” George Francisco, vice president of the Venice Chamber of Commerce, told the tv station. “The children who tagged this are ignorant. The children who tagged this don’t even know that it’s Memorial Day.”
