Dorchester Vietnam Veterans Memorial vandalized again

Who in their right mind would do this again? There is a video I read.  I cannot imagine who hates Nam Vets that much after all these years have passed.

The Dorchester Vietnam Veterans Memorial was defaced with a swastika and other graffiti Thursday, just one day after repairs to the monument were completed from when it was vandalized in October.

Several dozen recent plantings of shrubs and flowers were torn out of the ground and American flags were removed and thrown into water near the memorial located on land owned by the University of Massachusetts Boston.

The timing of the vandalism, after a long cleanup and ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, stunned local veterans and residents.

“It was just damaged in October, and we put all of this money into it. We fund-raised,” said Joseph Zinck, president of the Dorchester Vietnam Memorial Committee. “The renovations finished yesterday. And now, to have someone come out here and do this, I can’t fathom it. I can’t wrap my head around it right now.”
