KELLI IS LIVE.
KELLI: WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IS
THAT THIS STAIN IS ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO COME OUT.
THEN, THAT IS NOT WET.
THAT IS THE STAIN LEFT OVER FROM
WHATEVER WAS THROWN HERE, AND
POLICE WANT TO TRACK DOWN
WHOEVER DID THIS ASAP.
>> IT IS PURE EVIL.
I DO NOT KNOW WHY ANYBODY WOULD
DO THIS.
KELLI: FOR HER AND HER BROTHER,
NED, THEY CANNOT HELP BUT TAKE
WHAT HAPPENED HERE PERSONALLY.
THEIR FATHER ALONG WITH MANY
OTHER VETERANS IN THE AREA
HELPED RAISE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HELP
BUILD THIS MEMORIAL.
TODAY, THEY COME HERE TO FIND
THIS.
>> >> WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?
YOU COME TO SOUTH BOSTON FOR THE
ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE, AND
THEN YOU DESTROY IT?
FOR WHAT REASON?
I DON’T KNOW.
KELLI: BLACK GREASE OR OIL
COVERING THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO
GAVE THEIR LIVES IN WORLD WAR
II.
ONE CONGRESSMAN IS SICKENED.
>> STUFF LIKE THIS, IT JUST HITS
YOU SO HARD.
THAT IS MY WIFE’S UNCLE, SO HE
WAS KILLED IN HIS FIRST
PARACHUTE JUMP OVER THE RHINE
JUST A FEW MONTHS BEFORE V.E.
DAY.
THESE PEOPLE WERE FIGHTING
AGAINST THE HOLOCAUST, SO I DO
NOT KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD TAKE
FAULT WITH THEIR ACTION OR THEIR
MEMORY.
KELLI: LOCALS ARE SCRUBBING,
DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THIS
OFF OF THE NAMES OF THE FALLEN,
SAYING WHOEVER DID THIS NEEDS TO
TURN THEMSELVES IN.
>> I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
I AM JUST HEARTBROKEN.
KELLI: AND THAT FAMILY WE SPOKE
TO YOU, THEIR FATHER WAS ONE OF
THE MEN WHO HELPED RAISE MONEY
FOR THIS MEMORIAL.
HE ALSO SERVED IN KOREA.
NOW, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY
HAVE POWER WASHED THIS THING TWO
TO THREE TIMES, AND THEY USED
DAWN AND A DEGREASER.
