“I am working… to make sure the perpetrator is brought to justice. I offer a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the sick soul who did it.”

Cops received a call in the early hours of Wednesday morning with complaints of criminal mischief at the site.

The monument was scrawled with terms such as “fallen solvs,” “baby killers,” multiple Nazi symbols and “God sucks d**k.”

The graffiti was over the names of the 371 soldiers from Queens who died in the Vietnam war.

Police said that an investigation into the vandalism is ongoing.
