“It's very sad that someone would desecrate this memorial honoring those that have served," Lehner said. He said this is not the first time he has seen this happen and he thinks it will not be the last either.

“They took the M16 and helmet that was at the Vietnam memorial,” Lehner said. “If they do find an opportunity to be able to sell these, then they may come back – because all these statues, you'll see if you walk around, are bronze,” Lehner said.

At this time, police have not released information about any suspects.
