Medal of Honor Memorial vandalized

I guess the left is bound and determined to make sure that absolutely no one listens to whatever message it is they are trying to convey.

Vandals damaged two glass panels at the Medal of Honor Memorial and spray-painted graffiti on buildings and walls along the Downtown canal in White River State Park.

The IPALCO Foundation, which pays for the upkeep of the memorial, has put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those involved, said Susan Hanafee, a board member of the foundation.

The attack was discovered this morning.

The vandals spray-painted obscene words about America, President Bush and Gov. Mitch Daniels, as well as peace symbols and other signs on walls near the memorial and under a bridge along the canal.

Besides the memorial, the other area hardest hit was the front of the administration building to the Indiana State Museum, where workers were out trying to sandblast the words off the building's walls.

The Capitol Police are investigating.

The nation's only memorial to Medal of Honor recipients was dedicated in 1999. The names of 3,410 Medal of Honor winners are etched on glass panels.
