The Lincoln Memorial was vandalized with red spray paint early
Tuesday, authorities said.

At about 4:30 a.m., graffiti was found on a column at the
memorial, the National Park Service said in a statement. The
graffiti was difficult to read, but appeared to say �[expletive]
law,� the statement said.

Additional graffiti that couldn�t be read was found in silver
spray paint on a Smithsonian wayfinding sign in the 1400 block
of Constitution Avenue, according to the statement.

The graffiti at the Lincoln Memorial was to be removed with �a
mild, gel-type architectural paint stripper that is safe for use
on historic stone,� the Park Service said. The material is
spread on the column and allowed to set for an hour before being
removed with water. The process is repeated until the graffiti
is gone.

�The removal has begun, but it�s a lengthy [process] that will
require numerous treatments over a week or two to completely
remove,� National Park Service spokesman Michael Litterst said
in an email.

This is not the first time graffiti has appeared on Mall
monuments this year. In February, the Washington Monument and
the World War II, Lincoln and D.C. War memorials were vandalized
with cryptic messages, including the phrase �Jackie shot JFK.�

The Park Service asked anyone with information about the
graffiti to contact the U.S. Park Police at 202-610-7515.

Park Police spokeswoman Anna Rose said the investigation was
ongoing.
