Honor Flight vets just knocked over the barriers at the WWII memorial to get inside, #shutdown or no.

Hah, I love it. No one stands between Vets and their memorial. And believe me, those police are on the Vet’s side as well, in spite of their orders to shut it down. Kudu’s to Steve King. Every day of the shutdown, a Congressman or woman should show up at the WWII memorial, to make sure it stays open. Same at Viet Nam wall of names.
Time for guerilla warfare on our side.

There was NO reason to shut down the Memorial in the first place.

FNC reported the WWII Vets who were flown in from the Gulf Coast busted through the barriers that the park police put up to keep people out!

Their new Normandy, Guadalcanal!

GO VETS!

I sort of have to admit...

I like the symbolism of this.

Nicely done! Occupation of other parks/memorials on the agenda you think?

If the Park Police are working, why do they need to shut down the memorial?

Awesome. I hope they keep it up. My grandmother is due to go to DC next week to the memorial.

Why would a Government shutdown close this Memorial?

It just sits there. It doesn’t need employees.

What dipstick ordered it shut down?

Someone should check and see if the MLK monument (you know, that monument that was built in damn near secrecy and handcrafted by CHINESE WORKERS) is still open. I’d be curious to know that.

This is brilliant! No big-eared Punk-in-Chief is going to stop our brave Honor Flight heroes from visiting their WWII Memorial!! Thank you, Congressman Steve King!
