Greenpoint’s USS Monitor trail marker stolen
Community historic memorials, markers, statuary, artwork as well as cemetery memorials across the country have been subject to vandalism and theft throughout history. Despite these attempts at destroying the pride of communities and the memories of families and heroes from the past, their memory lives on through the efforts of the nation’s communities and schools and through veteran, historic and patriotic organizations.
The Greenpoint Monitor Museum has reported that its USS Monitor Trail Marker, which was unveiled on the museum’s grounds in 2015, has recently been stolen.
