A Quincy woman described as mentally troubled threw paint on a historic Beacon Hill memorial Tuesday afternoon, also splattering a family visiting from Wisconsin, Boston police said.
Authorities said a park ranger witnessed the vandalism and that when police arrived, the woman was sitting nearby with yellow paint on her hands, face, and clothing.

This is not only the most important Civil War monument in the country but many believe it is our nation's most important monument. Prayers for the woman who has desecrated it. Trust it soon will be restored to its former glory.
