Here is a short follow-up to the November 30 story about the vandalism at the Tahoma National Cemetery. You might recall that the USSVI Memorial was untouched, but the WWII Plaque was removed from its base. The following statement was released by Tahoma National Cemetery on December 27:
The Tahoma National Cemetery Support Group is accepting donations for the replacement of the stolen memorial plaques, removed on November 27, 2010. The cost to replace these plaques will run into several thousands of dollars.
If you would like to help out, checks can be made out to:
Tahoma National Cemetery Support Group
18600 SE 240th Street
Kent, Washington 98042
The funds will be utilized to replace the 11 stolen plaques, to repair the three damaged plaques, and to provide maintenance in the future. Tahoma National Cemetery Support Group is a non-profit organization which is comprised of over 200 volunteers.
