Five pairs of bronze shoes worth thousands of dollars have been stolen from Albuquerque, New Mexico's War on Terror Memorial, and now authorities want them back.
"They took the M16 and helmet that was at the Vietnam memorial,"James Lehner, vice president of the New Mexico Veterans' Memorial Foundation, told KOB."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." He added that it was neither the first time the memorial has been vandalized, and that he doesn't think it will be the last.
"I think that it's a crying shame," Lehner continued."It's very sad that someone would desecrate this memorial honoring those that have served."The War on Terror Park is a 25-acre memorial park at the corner of Gibson and Louisiana in Albuquerque. Its display memorializes New Mexican lives lost in the Philippines, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Afghanistan.
