| More Anti-War "Support" of the Troops (They trashed a war memorial) |

| BEEVILLE - There was a somber sight in the city of Beeville Tuesday night, as a war memorial honoring veterans killed in four wars was completely destroyed. That memorial once stood as five granite panels, with the names of 45 veterans who lost their lives, paying the ultimate sacrifice. But Tuesday, the memorial lies in pieces at the city's maintenance yard. Local veterans said they're not sure when the memorial was vandalized. They say it looks like someone took their car and just rammed into it. The memorial was erected in 1989 and residents there said they're devastated by it's vandalism, because it's more than just rock - it's a symbol of freedom. |

| #4 Not likely this was any sort of Anti-war or anti-Vet action. Some Joto prolly just got drunk. |

| #3 Veterans tend to get testy about such things. I remember one such who spotted some 'youths' vandalizing a veterans' cemetery. He went through those 'youths' like a tornado, with a pair of octagonal nunchucks, leaving them curled up in agony on the grass. The police actually had to carry them to their cars, as they were not up for walking or even standing upright. |

| #2 If some yahoo rammed it with his car, it should be fairly simple to check with the local repair shops, not exactly CSI work, but it should be done. The local cops are idiots. |

| #1 "Police are not investigating incident at this point, saying there's no way to determine if memorial was vandalized. Or damaged by accident." Yep, no way to find out without an investigation, which we're not doing. Brilliant. |
