    Vandals Deface Vietnam War Memorial In Venice, California


    Vandals defaced a memorial to Vietnam war veterans in Venice – an awful sight on this Memorial Day weekend.

    Stewart Oscars welled up as he looked at the vandalized mural located on Pacific Avenue near Sunset Court. It was covered in graffiti from end to end.

    “This knocked me out. So sickening. Just sadness…think of all these people. They’re gone,” Oscars said. “I remember the Vietnam war and how friends went to war, and bodies came back. Somehow, it has to be taught that this is not a good idea. This is actually stupid.”

    The memorial was dedicated to service members who were listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War.

    Police: Man drives through Kentucky memorial cross display


    Police say a Memorial Day cross display in Kentucky that honors the names of 5,000 veterans of conflicts dating back to the Revolutionary War has been vandalized by a driver who plowed through the crosses.

    Jennifer Richmond, a spokesman for the Henderson Police Department, said the community is devastated and working frantically to repair and replace the crosses that were put on display for a Memorial Day ceremony in Central Park.

    She said a 27-year-old local man drove straight through the cross display in the Henderson park, about 130 miles west of Louisville, just before 6 a.m. Saturday, but investigators don't know if it was deliberate.



    The perpetrator....

    An arrest has been made after 160 Memorial Day crosses were damaged early Saturday in Henderson.

    Police say a car driven by 27-year-old Anthony Burrus, of Henderson, drove through the display of crosses in Central Park around 6 a.m.

    Officers say Burris denied causing the damage, but said he was driving a 1979 Ford Thunderbird on Saturday morning. He told officers he left the car at McDonald’s on South Green Street because it stopped running.

    When officers found the car, it had pieces of a cross and ground stake embedded in the tires.

    James 5
    7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
    8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

    Genesis 6
    12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
    13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

    Luke 17
    26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:
    27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
    28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
    29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.
    30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

    Matthew 13
    49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
    50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    We all know that God will not destroy the earth again with WATER.
    But the Revelation shows us that the wrath of God is certainly not limited to water.

    HANK! don't be so negative!

    OK I'll be more positive.

    Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
    ... In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
