Default WWII Submarine Memorial "USS Ling" EVICTED

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/06/...H_TaA.facebook

To make a long story short, the memorial is in the way of retail and housing development...so it has to go. Never mind that a bunch of WWII vets in their 90's have given heart and soul to this project - in honor of all the lost WWII submariners.

As if that's not enough, one source says that people are already starting to steal parts off the submarine, as souvenirs. Classy.

QUOTE: "Borg is planning a redevelopment project with mixed housing and retail, leaving the veterans and the artifacts with nowhere to go."

Couldn't find this new posted elsewhere; mods feel free to delete if need be.
