Vandals have again struck the “Postcards” 9/11 memorial in St. George, damaging five of the granite plaques that pay homage to Staten Islanders who perished in the terrorist attacks.
“It’s disheartening,” said Borough President James P. Molinaro, whose office funded the $2.5 million memorial. “This is a cemetery for the families.”
Molinaro said that the damage occurred over the last two weeks.
One plaque was entirely removed or destroyed, while four others were partially damaged.
He said some written graffiti that had been found on the memorial had already been cleaned.
