BOSTON (WHDH) - A cleanup is underway after a Vietnam War memorial in Boston was defaced with spray paint.
Red paint was found Friday on the memorial at the Fenway Rose Garden.
Workers are using pressure washers to get the paint off areas where names of veterans are etched in white.
“As a veteran myself…It’s just very frustrating,” Veterans Services Commissioner Robert Santiago said. “There’s really no words to say how I feel right now.
Police said they are searching for the person responsible.
“I don’t know if there needs to be more education but this is sacred land and people need to realize that everybody’s name who is embedded in all these memorials here died for our country and their families sacrificed as well, and that needs to be known,” Santiago said.
An investigation remains ongoing.
