More — they even closed the Cemetery in Normandie!
U.S. Government Closes Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial?
“After closing a number of national monuments — including, of course, the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. — the U.S government is now officially stopping grateful patriots and tourists from visiting the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France. I find this incredibly embarrassing, don’t you?
PARIS (AP) — Tourists travelling to Omaha Beach to pay their respects to the 9,387 military dead at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial will find it closed, a victim of the U.S. government’s partial shutdown.
The site overlooking the D-Day invasion beaches is one of 24 U.S. military cemeteries overseas that have closed to visitors since Monday. Ten more cemeteries in in France, as well as others in various European countries as well as Mexico, Panama, Tunisia and the Philippines, will remain closed for the duration of the shutdown. “
This is a disgrace!
This is a sad day for the USA! I don’t recognize my country anymore!
