Description

Even on the heels of Veteran's Day with a memorial wreath right in front of their faces, skateboarders continue to disrespect the soldiers Memorial while the funded skatepark is empty. Why be contained to a skatepark when you can skate all over any public or private property you want with impunity? Try serving your country before you damage and disrespect a memorial to those who have. This shouldn't happen anywhere but with the Veterans Hospital so close by, this area has a large number of veterans who walk by these memorials every day and are personally deeply offended by the utter disregard not only by skateboarders but by city leadership that allows it and a police department that claims to support veterans and counts many veterans among their ranks. What's next, allowing people to smack a baseball over and over into the memorial to fallen police and firefighters. Who have we become?
