Description
The limestone Iwo Jima statue near Marine Corps Base Quantico was carved by sculptor Felix de Weldon in 1945, years before his bronze Marine Corps War Memorial was finished in Arlington. In October, police say, a man used a sledgehammer to remove the head of one of the Marines, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, 27, of Stafford, Virginia, was charged with felony destruction of property, trespass with intent to damage property and felony injury to a monument. Derricke Dennis reports.
