From the Green Bay Press-Gazette:
Vandals struck a number of young trees in the village including one with deep historic roots.
In 2000, the Denmark VFW post obtained a tree grown from the seeds of other trees that stood in the backyard of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s boyhood home.
A special ceremony was held to signify the planting of that tree, which was then dedicated to the veterans who served in World War II.
Last week vandals snapped the tree in half and vandalized a number of other ginkgo trees in the Denmark Memorial Park area.
“That’s a special tree, and it’s irreplaceable,” village Administrator Gordon Ellis said. “It was a tribute to World War II. Now it’s gone.”
