Increasing Incidents of Vandalism at Veteran Burial Sites
Nationwide, vandalism attacks on military veteran burial sites in privateand national cemeteries have increased 113% over the previous year.However, although local law enforcement investigations remain activelypursued in most incidents, distractions toward terrorism-relatedinvestigations have resulted in a lower percentage of cemetery-relatedvandalism apprehensions and prosecutions. Veterans Day is fast approaching.All local veterans organizations are encouraged to offer securitymonitoring services at private and national cemeteries in your community.
