WWII Vets Knock Over Shutdown Barrier to Visit Memorial

A group of World War II veterans in an Honor Flight group Tuesday knocked over barriers imposed during the government shutdown at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., to get inside.

As part of the federal government shutdown, national parks are closed. But the group of veterans continued to the monument Tuesday, as reported by Stars and Stripes reporter Leo Shane: Honor flight vets just knocked over the barriers at the WWII memorial to get inside, shutdown or no.

No sign of folks leaving. The vets have control of the memorial.

What type of control does the National Park Service or Pres. BHO think they can exert on survivors of WWII?

no one is going to do a damn thing about it.  Doing so would be political succide.
