Obama Putting Up More Barricades at World War Two Memorial This Morning
Wednesday, October 2, 2013 | Kristinn

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.

So these goons are “essential personnel”? Didn’t think so.

He may not like the unintended consequences of this one though.

My grandfather was a WWII vet - Atlantic and Pacific theatre (USS CARD). He went home to God in 1997, but were he still alive he would go just to get arrested as well and I may go for him for the same reason.

It takes a squadron of wheelchair-bound 90-year-old veterans to show us how to 'take back America'!

"A lot of my old comrades were lost in World War II," Ian Drake, a WWII veteran told the station. "Eighteen of 100 in my graduating class were lost in World War II, so it's important for me to show my respect at the memorial."

Oh get this...they got access because it’s being considered a First Ammendment DEMONSTRATION!.

Carol Johnson, a National Parks Service spokeswoman, said the veterans’ groups had been granted access Wednesday because it was deemed ‘a first amendment demonstration’......
The memorial was still closed ‘to the public’, however, and Johnson said other war memorials on the National Mall would also be closed.
But veterans could be seen visiting the Vietnam War Memorial about a half-mile away.
