ALLENDALE, Mich. â A statue in Allendale depicting a confederate soldier standing over a slave child has been vandalized for the second time this month.
Rep. Luke Meerman (R-Ottawa County) sent Fox 17 the photos above, along with the following statement: I stand in support of Allendale s Civil War statue located in the Allendale Veteranâs Garden of Honor.
