The recent political circus that is the government shut down
has caused many federal properties and
organizations to momentarily stop,
including a WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, a group
of WWII
veterans from Mississippi and Iowa wanted to visit their memorial; unfortunate
for the police
manning the barricades that is. The veterans, in true old people
and veteran style, just did not give a hoot
about those damn kids on their damn
memorial. They promptly walked and rolled past the police with the
help of Rep.
Steve King (R-IA). The Republican Party is now using this as some form of
rallying cry or to
get support, which is ironic because they cause the
government shut-down.
The park is
still legally closed but it doesn’t look like the veterans are going to get
into trouble. The
Republicans have some nerve trying to get these veterans’ display
for their own gain.
