VFW Condemns Vandalism of WWII Memorial.
Vandals spray-painted graffiti on the National World War II Memorial on the National Mall on May 31st. VFW Commander-in Chief, at that time, William “Doc,” Schmitz, said, “Equality is a cornerstone of VFW and while bigotry and unequal treatment have zero place in the world. Vandalising a structure memorializing the men and women who fought and died to free the world of tyranny., is also not acceptable.”
