Accused WWII Memorial vandal: ‘I made a big mess to get the nation’s attention’

The woman accused of vandalizing the World War II Memorial said in an interview she did it to 'get the nation's attention.' Melissa Farris, 41, told The Washington Post she graffitied the memorial to highlight alleged wrongdoing by a person or group not fully identified in the report. The incident occurred earlier this month on the National Mall, prompting a police investigation.
