Vietnam War Memorial was vandalized

A bit earlier this month, a terrible substance was found splashed upon the Vietnam War Memorial. Now, it's been confirmed that it was an act of vandalism (via Michelle Malkin):
The unidentified substance that was found splashed on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial earlier this month was the result of vandalism, the U.S. Park Police said today.

Sgt. Robert Lachance, a spokesman for the Park Police, said the investigation into the incident is continuing, but the detective on the case had ruled it an act of vandalism. Lachance said he could provide no more details because the probe is still underway.

The oily substance was first reported to police the evening of Sept. 7, National Park Service officials have said. Dark blotches were found along a stone curb at the base of the memorial for most of its length, and at least two of the wall’s panels appeared to have had something splashed on them.

Park Service officials said they did not know what the substance was, and at first said it was unclear if it was the result of vandalism or some kind of accident.

Park Service spokesman Bill Line said today that maintenance and preservation crews were still working to remove the stains and marks, but were proceeding with caution to avoid further damage. He said the crews were trying to avoid pushing any residue into cracks or grout in the stone.

“We’re purposefully going to take our time,” he said.

Line said it could take another week or more to clean, but officials remain confident they can remove all the stains.
There's a reward being offered by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund to anyone who can offer info leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. But even if there wasn't, those who may have spotted any suspects should still do a service by helping the law find the creeps who pulled this vile crime. I hope the park staff can repair the damage without any flaws and restore the Memorial to its proper form again.
