According to US media reports, the US National World War II Memorial in Washington was deliberately vandalized on August 13 local time, and police are investigating. As you can see at the scene of the incident, some monuments were painted with red English graffiti and paint. The graffiti read “clean hands, dirty dollars.” The vandals also poured chemicals such as soap into the fountain pool, causing the pool water to bubble a lot. Investigators have inspected the damage, and staff have begun clean-up work. The U.S. World War II Memorial is located in National Mall Park in Washington, D.C., on the east section of Kagami Pond between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. The monument was built in September 2001, opened to the public in April 2004, and a completion ceremony was held in May of the same year to commemorate the 16 million American soldiers who served during World War II.
