At the WWII Memorial on the National Mall:

No sign of folks leaving. The vets have control of the memorial. #shutdown pic.twitter.com/eGj4kmFEiP

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.

Hmmm, maybe I should have used the /s on my post after all. Thought it wouldn't be needed.

one old vet told me not too long ago that his pals died for nothing if the country carries on and it is up to us now to keep that fight going.

bozo and his regime and th eleft have gone too far with their social PC issues and fiscal issues, enough is enough.

We should all be marching in millions on this white house and demand like the Egyptians do that bozo steps down.

Good work! Let’s hope it doesn’t lead to another civil war.....

[Windflier]

Nice catch.

You're welcome :-)

[manc]

we need to organize because trust me there are many who are just as fed up and had enough.

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

Of course there was! Obama trying to be a dick as usual.

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

I love the way the Left-wing sites say the vets “stormed” or “rammed the barricades” as if men in the 80s and 90s, using walkers and wheelchairs could storm anything.

[Deb]

Isn’t this the BEST?! I love it so much!!!

[NFHale]

“...brave vets have done more and served more ...”

Indeed... I wish there had been more time to organize some kind of massive show of support... several thousand people showing up and stomping on the barricades would be nice.

[Fast Moving Angel]

I think you did the right thing - if it was OK with the vets, it’d be OK by me.

[IamConservative]

God bless these heroes. Still shoving it up the kiester of dictators at home and abroad!

[DakotaGator]

Next stop, the White House. Boot out The Usurper just like the did to Der Fuehrer!

That just goes to show how out of touch they are with the mainstream. Most Americans feel proud when they hear about our veterans ramming the barricades and storming the beaches. These guys were already my heroes, but more so now.

[uncitizen]

yes, and it’s a couple of 90 year olds leading the fight!

- Vets need to storm the VA and the Mud Hut AT 1600 PA Ave

When the love of country is no longer, the country dies. My love of this country goes to a depth in my soul that cannot be touched by human hands. I would die to save her and her flag. God help us!

[Cheerio]

Did you read the commie comments?

[manc]

damn right , no matter what we think of the loons on the left they are organized.

Imagine hundreds of thousands of people outside the white house protesting.
