Thieves rob La Porte veterans' graves of medallions and honor
WBND - South Bend, IN
Veterans from both World Wars, Korea and even the Revolutionary War have become the targets of thieves in one small community in Indiana.
Since Memorial Day, more than 300 bronze stakes with veterans medallions placed at their graves have been stolen from cemeteries in La Porte, according to Fox 32.
“They were breaking them off for the bronze rods because they knew the medallions would be really hard to get somebody to take them,” said American Legion post commander Wayne Zeman.
