KC vet memorial damaged

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Vandals have damaged Kansas City's new Korean War Veteran's Memorial.

KCTV reported that the steel plating with the names of those killed in the war is damaged and that one of four stars inside the memorial has been stolen. Police also said that skateboard wax is all over a bench that borders the memorial.

The Korean War Memorial is the only statewide memorial honoring the more than 900 Missourians who died during the war.

A new security camera has been placed at the memorial, which was unveiled a month ago.
