War Memorial Vandalized
University of Toledo president Dan Johnson says an attack on a campus peace display is "inexcusable."
Campus police are investigating vandalism done to most of the 2,000 white wooden tombstones put up by peace groups to symbolize deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq and the human cost of the war.
Thursday morning, organizers found many of the markers had been pulled out of the ground on grassy areas near University Hall and Memorial Field House. A few had been broken in half.

“We think the people who knocked these down are dishonoring these people’s lives,” said Mr. Coleman, a member of the Northwest Ohio Peace Coalition. “I don’t want to think it was done maliciously, but I suspect it was.”
About 30 coalition members and other organizers of the “Arlington Midwest” and “Bring Them Home Now” bus tour — held last night and today at the university — erected the 2,000-piece display Wednesday in grassy areas near University Hall and Memorial Field House.
