   The Lincoln Memorial was vandalized with red spray paint early   
   Tuesday, authorities said.   
      
   At about 4:30 a.m., graffiti was found on a column at the   
   memorial, the National Park Service said in a statement. The   
   graffiti was difficult to read, but appeared to say “[expletive]   
   law,” the statement said.   
      
   Additional graffiti that couldn’t be read was found in silver   
   spray paint on a Smithsonian wayfinding sign in the 1400 block   
   of Constitution Avenue, according to the statement.   
      
   The graffiti at the Lincoln Memorial was to be removed with “a   
   mild, gel-type architectural paint stripper that is safe for use   
   on historic stone,” the Park Service said. The material is   
   spread on the column and allowed to set for an hour before being   
   removed with water. The process is repeated until the graffiti   
   is gone.   
      
   “The removal has begun, but it’s a lengthy [process] that will   
   require numerous treatments over a week or two to completely   
   remove,” National Park Service spokesman Michael Litterst said   
   in an email.   
      
   This is not the first time graffiti has appeared on Mall   
   monuments this year. In February, the Washington Monument and   
   the World War II, Lincoln and D.C. War memorials were vandalized   
   with cryptic messages, including the phrase “Jackie shot JFK.”   
      
   The Park Service asked anyone with information about the   
   graffiti to contact the U.S. Park Police at 202-610-7515.   
      
   Park Police spokeswoman Anna Rose said the investigation was   
   ongoing.
