Memorial Day is not just a day for barbecues, trips to the beach, and relaxation. It’s a solemn day when we remember and honor those we lost in the service of our country. Most people in this country, regardless of how they observe Memorial Day, are respectful of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have laid down their lives for freedom, even if they don’t agree with the conflicts they served in. Sadly, some are not.

Two monuments in Albany, Ga., were defaced during Memorial Day Weekend. The two monuments, one dedicated to veterans of World War II and one dedicated to veterans of the Vietnam War, had paint sprayed all across their front surfaces.

What kind of sick individual defaces a war memorial? I don’t know about you, but this kind of thing gets me fired up. To do something so dishonorable and disgraceful to monuments commemorating truly noble men and women is absolutely appalling.

Fortunately, the town is doing its best to make sure the monuments are restored to pristine condition. Considering what all the men and women those statues commemorate did, it’s certainly the right thing to do. Anyone with information regarding who vandalized the monuments is urged to contact the Albany Police Department.

    There’s a special place in hell reserved for people like this. I only wish that those represented by these monuments could speed them on their way

      Well they’re in Albany so I guess that’s the same thing for the most part.

      Gentlemen that is exactly what he wants. In perfect honesty he is a coward behind a keyboard who wouldn’t have the nads to stand up and serve. Nor would I want him counted among my brothers and sisters in arms. Call us baby killers, spit in our face but we know we are made of better stuff and have more purpose and cause then this piece of trash ever will. Oh and if you disagree with this come and see me, we can talk.

        I’m just biased because the only people from hometown in the forces are the guys that had to drop out of school. And they don’t even go overseas, they’re just reserve troops. So it jerks my yerkin when people tell me to worship them like they’re so godly.

        Ways I know you’re lying: we don’t accept high school drop outs. And those reserve troops sacrifice one weekend a month and two weeks in the summer so when the next war starts they are ready to answer the call so useless and worthless human beings like you can slander us in a country where that won’t get you shot. Keep you ignorance to yourself, wouldn’t want thanks from scum like you anyway.

      It was probably those idiots who tried to shotgun a beer at “90 mph”. They thought it was a TFM because they were TFTC. BUT IT WAS NF.

    Well because this happened in Albany, it’s a real toss up between which is darker, the spray paint or the person/people who used it.

        Use those laps to chill out. Probably got a little heated from all that intense WNBA action.

        Nothin’ like watching a bunch of fried chicken-eating dykes chase an oversized orange around to get the blood flowin’….

        I’m not being racist, I’m just being realistic. Look up the demographics of Albany, douchenozzle.
