Creep Tries to Burn Down Marble Statue of WWII Hero

Statue of WWII Hero Targeted

"The U.S. Army Airborne soldier is highly respected world wide. Then comes along some jerk punk(s) and he tries to burn the statue of WWII Major General William C. Lee...the Father of the United States Airborne Army. Thursday evening about 2200 hours someone poured a flammable liquid over the white marble statue....The local fire department put out the flames but the damage is done. It scorched the statue mostly on the left side. You can see the burn marks in the marble where the jerk placed the remainder of the fuel container on the platform...Local security cameras will be reviewed."

That museum is right down the road from my armory. We've gone over and helped clean it up on a few occasions as public service projects.

Won't be hard to fix. The idiots probably thought it was a Confederate statue.
