新罕布什尔州哈特福德市白河交汇处:退伍军人节前夕新建退伍军人纪念碑遭涂鸦破坏

新罕布什尔州哈特福德镇白河交汇处的一座新建退伍军人纪念碑在退伍军人节前夕遭到涂鸦破坏,破坏者用记号笔在碑上画上了纳粹标志。据《每日破晓》11月12日援引《山谷新闻》报道,这座纪念碑于今年阵亡将士纪念日落成,用于纪念曾在朝鲜战争、越南战争及1975年以后服役的哈特福德镇居民。破坏行为恰逢退伍军人节,引发当地居民愤慨。报道指出,类似事件今年9月也曾在邻近的黎巴嫩市出现,当时有人在莱德亚德特许学校附近、黎巴嫩购物中心、水街停车场和杜拉克街一处公墓喷涂纳粹标志;黎巴嫩警方表示已掌握两名未成年嫌疑人的监控录像。目前尚不清楚白河交汇处纪念碑破坏案是否与上述事件有关,警方调查仍在进行,纪念碑的清理工作有待安排。
White River Junction, Hartford, New Hampshire: New Veterans Memorial Vandalized With Graffiti on Eve of Veterans Day
A newly built veterans memorial in White River Junction, in the town of Hartford, New Hampshire, was vandalized with graffiti on the eve of Veterans Day, when a Nazi symbol was drawn on it with a marker. According to a November 12 report in the Daily Dawn, citing the Valley News, the memorial was dedicated this past Memorial Day to honor Hartford residents who served in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and after 1975.
The timing of the vandalism, on Veterans Day, angered local residents. The report noted a similar incident in neighboring Lebanon this September, when Nazi symbols were sprayed near Ledyard Charter School, at the Lebanon shopping center, in the Water Street parking lot and at a cemetery on Dulac Street; Lebanon police said they had surveillance video of two juvenile suspects. It is not yet clear whether the White River Junction memorial case is connected to those incidents. The police investigation is ongoing, and cleanup of the memorial has yet to be scheduled.
