The Obama administration is adding more barricades at the World War Two Memorial in Washington, D.C. this morning, according to reporters on the scene.
The reinforcements are being put in place apparently to prevent a repeat of yesterday when WWII veterans aided by several Republican Congressmen pushed aside barricades to visit their memorial.
Buzzfeed got no response from the White House last night when queried about the administration closing the memorial to veterans.
A report last night claimed that the Park Service would arrest veterans who attempt to visit the WWII Memorial.
Great job with photos caww, thank you so much!
Mccaskill is one ugly broad. How I wish I were there today.
Thanks for posting that pic and WWII vet quote. Love that! These heroes are STILL fighting the good fight...God bless each and every one of them.
“Sign at WWII Memorial:
“NORMANDY WAS CLOSED WHEN WE GOT THERE, TOO.””
Love these guys!
That hag is the one playing politics. You know where she can go straight to.
Yep...bringing more...we need to have this for Jim to view too and “FR’s record of this event...it’s a beginning!
Awesome! Love these heroes...and so thankful for their *continued* service!
I kid you not. Can you believe that nonsense? I know I can. So the Veterans have a right to be there because of the First amendment but no one else can exercise the same right, while the Gov't is shutdown. Don't get me wrong, I fully support, as a veteran myself, for the WWII veteran's to be there but the idiocy of the Park Service to make a statement like that is beyond belief.
No doubt these VEts are stunned at this point in life they have another round to take a stand! Just goes to show...God does things well and when it has the greatest impact on hearts and minds.
They just thought we were mad as h#ll, before...
Don't Mess with OUR Vets, #BarryCade!!
“Awesome! Love these heroes...and so thankful for their *continued* service! “
They fought for freedom from facists and evil dictators in the 40’s. I see a pattern here!!
I have a picture of my son and I taped to my desk.
We are standing in front of the Iowa columns of the WW II memorial from when we were there in 2006.
The Obama administration also ordered the DOD to cancel all service academy athletic events.
Right now ...AF and Navy football game is being cancelled despite the fact these programs,.. especialy Navy’s, are SELF FUNDED funded and do not rely on government funds to support their programs.
The Army and Boston College game may be cancelled..... Again the Army football program is SELF FUNDED.
There is no need for this but it shows how Obama, just like with sequester, Obama WANTS TO MAXIMIZE THE PAIN!

“Claire McKaskill has a record and habit of treating the elderly very badly. She was one of the first Congress Critters I noticed doing that during the summer of ‘09. She hid from her constituents for starters and then when she finally did talk to them she was as arrogant as I have ever seen a person act. .....Today she topped that performance. She is one nasty piece of work. What a total hypocrite”
This is civil disobedience ‘perfectly executed by vets’.... who know what it means to storm a beach head....
Send that photo around. It will be the twitter-heard-round-the-world.
Obama and his Democrat capons have miscalculated.
