At the WWII Memorial on the National Mall:

So, the WWII memorial is open today... Park police letting everyone by right now. #shutdown

No attempt to stop any WWII visitors right now. Maybe after the congressmen leave ... #shutdown pic.twitter.com/SZmxBfh2cr

As noted in the last post, Congressman Steve King "distracted" the Capitol Park Police while the veterans, per their training, rushed over the barriers.

Here's a brief Vine video of the veterans reclaiming their Memorial from Obama's Shutdown Theater Prop Workshop.

They just proves that We the People can accomplish so much with so little when right is on our side. The Greatest Generation is still teaching us all how to stand up for our God given and Constitutional rights and freedoms.

Ignorant, dogmatic cretins hate being reminded of of their ignorance and stupidity. It’s often what drives them to violence.

This is great. The Obama Administration trying to prevent people from visiting the WWII Memorial. Didn’t Uncle Somebody liberate Auschwitz?

There is no reason to shut down the Memorial. It’s a large, public park. It doesn’t need ticket takers or maintenance.

The Obama Administration acting like dictators. Let’s make the public as miserable as possible. That’ll show those Republicans. It’s all a cheap show.

Their actions bring a tear to this old Consevatives eye, its like when Rand Paul spoke on Drones and Ted Cruz sloshed though his 21 hour non-Filibuster! America isn’t dead—it just needs to find herself again. Let the MSM ramble about bussed in people—tea party nut jobs all they want—their day is coming to an end. The fight has started—think Battle of the Bulge rather than Normandy Beach head. Its going to be a long and hard battle—but one worth winning.

Think Minute Men at Lextington Green. the Agents of Tyrany in Red Coats ordered them to stand aside. They stood firm and a free nation was born.

This Obama crowd relishes taking away anything that inspires traditional America. The WWII memorial means nothing to them, in fact, they believe flags, war memorials, veterans are everything that is wrong in America. I think Moochelle demonstrated this quite well when she complained, “all this for a damn flag”

If it is, let me know.

I can be there by tomorrow afternoon to reopen it, if I have to do it all by myself.

Of Course, but this one is in open space and no one really guards it anyway.

As you say, it was designed to bring forth a scream and they got it shoved up their butts.,

I went there a few months back and I believe the closest rest room are at the Smithsonian anyway.

The Smithsonian is not a Government agency.
