Valley City locals say it’s not the only garden in\u00a0the city \u00a0that’s been vandalized.<\/p>\n

\n
Valley News Live reported in an interview with Donna Lemer that she\u00a0calls it her military garden: with its red, white and (at the right time of year) blue flowerssaing that\u00a0it’s emptier these days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

She commented that, “I bought it in memory of my dad and in honor of my son.”<\/p>\n

Lemer\u00a0adds that\u00a0the \u2018military man\u2019 statue stood in her garden in honor of her late father, a Vietnam army veteran, and her son, who served in the National Guard.<\/p>\n

Lemer says “He just sat there with the two flags and by the road, so that as people drove by they knew that we supported our American veterans.”<\/p>\n

She stated, “I was really surprised by the number of people who knew that little, tiny, round, beat-up garden even existed,\u00a0 I think one person said, \u2018I drive by there and look at him every time I go to bingo.”<\/p>\n
