Famous military statue vandalized with “#MeToo” shortly after the Sailor dies at 95
A Florida statue depicting the famous “V-J Day kiss” photo that came to symbolize the end of World War II was hit by vandals, who spraypainted “#MeToo” on the nurse’s leg.
The statue, which is known as “Unconditional Surrender” and located in Sarasota, was reported to be vandalized early Tuesday morning.
According to the Herald Tribune, officers responding to the scene discovered “#MeToo” had been written on the leg of the nurse in the statue, but found no evidence at the scene to help in apprehending a suspect.
The city quickly dispatched a crew, who cleaned the statue up before lunch- all to the tune of $1,000 in damages.
George Mendonsa, the man featured in the statue, had died only days prior to the act of vandalism, two days before his 96th birthday.
