UPDATE: I'm told, "The Syracuse Honor Flight just knocked down the barrier and a couple hundred of them are at the Memorial now."

That is correct!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Syr. Channel 3’s Matt Mulcahy just reported from Washington with the Honor Flight vets. Coverage showed jersey barriers being tipped and emptied. The vets got to see the WWII, Vietnam and Korean memorials.

The Lincoln Memorial was closed off, but one vet was interviewed who went there anyway.

Kudos to Mulcahy for his factual reporting, and obvious pride in our vets.
