For the US Park Police to consider a bunch of elderly WW2 veterans walking across an open area to see their memorial as “a breach of security” shows you just how far down the crapper the USPP have gone.
They have had serious leadership problems over the past 5 years, and now they have serious mental problems when they can’t look at those veterans, possibly including their fathers or grandfathers, and see that this is “their” memorial, and have fought and paid in blood to see it.
This mentality of putting public parts of America off limits to Americans is Obama’s thumb in the eye of every serviceman and woman, and of their families, and IT HAS BEEN DONE ON PURPOSE.
My son, a combat veteran of Iraq, had to go to his post today as a federal police officer. Yet, if he were off duty, he couldn’t go to any of these war memorials either.
I spent two days last week with some of the bravest of our men who fought in Vietnam (Special Forces, Marines, Army, Recon/LRRPs) and Foreign Service Officers who served there, under fire.
Today they would not be allowed to visit both the Vietnam Memorial Wall and the Vietnam Memorial Statue.
This is the result of Obama’s “fundamental transformation of America”.
He has hired both “Good Germans” and “Good Comrades” to carry out this transformation, as well as having propagandized the stupid blacks, whites and hispanics who want “free” things instead of working for them.
If we don’t fight back right now, we are doomed. Perhaps those WW2 vets “who stormed the WW2 memorial barracades” just did that, opened the Western Front offensive against the entrenched enemy, Herr Comrade Obama.
However, the beach name was not Juno, Gold, or any other such name, it was Washington, DC, a place now known as “RED BEACH”.
These men went in to the bloody beaches of the world over 65 years ago, and they went in again, today. We, the Vietnam generation and the Iraq/Afghanistan generation of both civilian and military fighters, MUST become the Second Wave of our new fight for liberation from tyranny (elected or otherwise).
We cannot fail those who went before. To do so would be to spit on their graves, and in my family we don’t do things like that, ever!
