LOS ANGELES, May 30 (UPI) -- A Vietnam War veteran's memorial in Venice, California was vandalized just ahead of Memorial Day, an act that has outraged people across the city of Los Angeles.
The monument, painted on the wall 24 years ago, was tagged with a giant swath of silver graffiti, covering many of the 2,273 names of missing veterans from the war. Sunday morning, dozens of volunteers were working to clean it up.
