Vandals started their spree down the street from the memorial near I-90 then targeted the memorial.The Coeur d’Alene Fallen Heroes Memorial Plaza was built by community groups, including local police and firefighters. Two years ago, it was hit by arsonists and this week’s graffiti has the community fed up.“To have it disrespected like this is, well, it takes the wind out of your sails,” Coeur d’Alene Firefighter Matt Tosi said.“I can’t believe that kids would do that,” Lisa O’Conner said/Tania Dall, KXLY.
