A group of World War II veterans in an Honor Flight group Tuesday knocked over barriers imposed during the government shutdown at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., to get inside.
As part of the federal government shutdown, national parks are closed. But the group of veterans continued to the monument Tuesday, as reported by Stars and Stripes reporter Leo Shane.

Could get exciting if cops or park rangers attempt to evict them...
Think Bonus Army only with a different, happier ending.

When these guys fought in WWII, there wasn’t even a fence around the White House.

Always ready to fight for freedom. They are an inspiration to us all.

Everyone should visit the White House and Congress and be sure to carry a hangman’s noose as a fashion statement. If the bikers can do it, the Muslims, truckers, and these vets, why not everyone get into the act. Clog DC.

From the article:
Credit where due -- I watched Rep Steve King distract a park police officer while vets and staffers knocked down the fences here.

Isn’t this the perfect metaphor? As in: Americans will not stand for stupid restrictions imposed by a Government - not even our own. We are free.
God bless these guys for their service to our country.
