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.

“I wish the Freedom Riders had stayed a bit longer.”
A bunch of them are returning tomorrow to escort the WWII vets to OUR memorial. (see #2MBikers on Twitter)
ridefortheconstitution.org truckers next weekend.
Which costs more -
leaving the open air monuments open or having all these LEOs around putting up barrycades?
come on WH,,surely are not that stupid!
Nice. Thanks
God help ‘em all when they finally push a bunch of old veterans to the point of saying, “Oh, to hell with it.”
Good. His arrogance will be his downfall.
But the Presidential Golf course is open!
No real American would do this to other Americans.
It’s time for a million veteran march on DC.
Just curious,how many does he have that will actually obey him?
The Blaze? Crickets.
Drudge? Crickets?
Is ANYONE paying attention..?
Is there a single real American that does not AUTOMATICALLY pledge the flag??
That’s an excellent idea.
I think it is time for the civil disobedience acts that the lefties use. If 10,000 people show and open the park, what are they going to do?
The only problem with that plan is that we have jobs to go to. I think the lefties get paid “protest” days.
“I would be afraid to do that after what happened to an unarmed mother driving her car.”
Hmmm,,good point. Obama’s White House is probably using this tense situation to justify “shoot to kill” orders...Obama has been waiting so long to kill his enemies.
