Like the hundreds of World War II veterans who came to National Mall to pay their respects this week, a group of Vietnam veterans found a barricade blocking the way to their memorial Friday. News4's Mark Segraves said two U.S. Park Service Rangers manning the gate asked that the group respect the government's shutdown but moved aside.

Segraves described the exchange as pleasant and respectful.

The veterans then moved the barricade and walked down to the wall to pay their respects. But a flood of tourists followed even though the memorial is closed to the general public.

U.S. Park Police arrive to the scene, asked everyone to leave and put the barricade back into place.

True enough, and hopefully the remaining thinking Americans can see this for what it really is. The Usurper in Chief, PINO, Soetoro, despises all us Peasants.

RATs are counting on the WWII vets to be in wheelchairs and fragile. Nam vets haven’t reached that stage yet.

While O may have overplayed his hand on the WW2 memorial, he also knows these were votes he would never get anyway. The gamble is that it won’t inflame the public at large... a risky one IMHO.

Too Late. Even though the LameStream Prestitutes aren't reporting it, it is everywhere on the net. Don't think they stepped it on this? Check out most Any High Profile Demonrat Congresscritter's facebook. They are getting hammered. I can only imagine what the older generation is doing on their phone lines.

We have to remember that this is the Democrats war on Veterans.

It has nothing to do with the shut down.

It costs more to bring in the barry-cades and police than to just stand aside.

Please—Please remember this come election time and vote for patriots instead of the garbage we have sitting in Congress now.

-— It’s time for patriotic Americans to “Occupy” the war memorials 24/7 until this government abuse is stopped. -—

Obviously the Communist-in-Chief is looking for a confrontation. It must be a winning strategy in Alinskyland.

Out here in reality land, it’s an invitation for an ass-kicking. So be it.

British regulars under command of Lt. Col. Francis Smith asked the Massachusetts militia to abandon their position on the North Bridge and allow the British troops to proceed on towards Concord.

No, let’s just make this thorough. Any federal property is closed... all of it. Roads, interstate and defense highway system, bridges, dams, navigation systems, rivers, harbors, sea shore.... all of it. All of it including the white hut, libraries, congress, supreme corpse... all of it.
