KENNEWICK, Wash. - It was a stunning discovering on Memorial Day one that brought grown men to their knees. Vietnam Veterans visiting the very same memorial in their honor discovered someone had dishonored their tribute. The Memorial had been tagged, fortunately Kennewick police say they were able to find their man, or rather boy.

Bobby Albers served three tours from 1968 to 1970 in the Vietnam War. He lost friends and high school classmates.

"Everyday, if I have to I will fight for their rights for what they did so there memory never be gone," said Vietnam veteran Bobby Albers.

In 1986, Bobby and some friends created the Vietnam Memorial at the foot of the Cable Bridge in Kennewick. On Memorial Day, Bobby went to pay his respects as he does every year. Only to find graffiti on the very stone with the names of who died.
