Statue Theft Shocks Vietnamese Community | California News
Description
A priceless 1,500-pound bronze statue of a South Vietnamese soldier was stolen from San Jose’s “Thank You America Memorial,” sparking outrage and grief across the Vietnamese-American community. The theft—captured on grainy surveillance footage—symbolizes deep cultural gratitude and has raised questions about motive: was it greed or hate? Police are treating it as a potential hate crime and urgently seeking public help to identify suspects. Both statues have been removed for safety, and fundraising is underway to restore the memorial, as the community vows to honor the legacy of those who fought for freedom and refuse to tolerate disrespect.
