nps.gov

The National Park Service is offering a 25 hundred dollar reward for information leading to the person or persons who vandalized the Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial on South Bass Island on May 13. Park rangers say the vandals also damaged the gravesite of three American sailors killed in the Battle of Lake Erie. Officials aren't releasing a damage estimate.  The monument is closed for repairs and renovations.
