A new wave of veterans were forced to move barricades at the WWII Memorial in Washington Wednesday morning to gain access during the government slimdown, a spokeswoman from Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., told FoxNews.com.

My sons are in DC. I hope they go help out. I took them there when they were very young and again when they were older.

[Frapster]

LOVE IT! (yes I’m yelling)

[cld51860]

GOOD! I wish I were there with them. I actually hope they arrest them! I would gladly go to the hoosegow with ‘em!

[Sacajaweau]

If Americans were ever going to march to DC...this is the time!!!

[Sacajaweau]

I wish I was there, too.

Tough guy Hairy Reed should go stop those anarchist vets.

A great media even that DEFINES thus slim down.

VOLUNTEERS could be manning these public places. Recruit the Boy Scouts to volunteer for one.

If this is all the media can come up with that the feds are doing with HALF of our income every year, shut it down and keep it down!

This is the best thing to happen in some time.

It’s time for people to fight back and to take back what’s theirs.

And it’s only fitting that these men, men who saved our Republic from a great peril long ago, are showing us the way again.

The only people who miss the government employees,,, are the government employees themselves.

These men and women are STILL making history. Wheelchairs, walkers and all.

Now that’s something.

From Pearl Harbor to the National Mall.
From Saigon to Now.

Good...as long as the PhonyCon Fox News Watching Liberals don’t whine or blame Ted Cruz...

Shows what kind of America Hater we have in the White Hut

[Old Sarge]

From storming the beaches, to storming the Barry-cades.

They’ve already done their duty to America, and yet here they are once again. Because Generation X and the Millennials won’t.

"We might have to climb or something. It's no problem. We[']ll work it out when we get there."

Most of these guys are pushing 90. At the very youngest (sneaked in at 16 in '45) some of them are 84. Their ethos to "figure it out" gives testament to why they are popularly labeled as the "Greatest Generation."

Soon, they will all be gone. And we'll be left with a youth that has no sense of self sacrifice or work ethic, which pales in comparison to the men that are breaking down goobermunt barriers in the same way they defeated the fascist empires of Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Rather than cry to mama goobermunt when these men face a challenge equivocal to "what do we do," they respond with "we'll figure it out."

Their riposte in combination with their stiff resolve is truly inspiring, yet truly frightening when foresight is considered.

Because Generation X and the Millennials won’t.

Younger generations don’t care, but they will someday. When its too late.
