Calling All Patriots: Million Veteran March On The D.C. Memorials October 13th
Gateway Pundit ^ | October 5, 2013 | Rachel Pulaski

Posted on 10/05/2013 1:22:22 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

A new rally is forming, “Million Vet March On The Memorials” that will be held 9am October 13, 2013 at the war memorials in Washington D.C.

The group is fed up with veterans being used as political pawns and are calling all patriots to attend, via their facebook page:

We are all military brats, current and former military spouses and some veterans. We cannot express how utterly disappointed we were that our Greatest Generation were being used as political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis. This should never be the case.

We do not care what political leanings you may be; be it liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent or whatever. The actions of the U.S. government this week with regard to barricading and shutting down the World War II Memorial to veterans, that may or may not be on their last trip to Washington DC, is a despicable act of cowardice.

Veterans this week were unwillingly pitted as pawns in this crisis. We feel that this should never be the case. This is why we will go to Congress after the budget crisis and ask for a bill to be introduced that would prevent any member of the government from closing our memorials down to any American, except for maintenance purposes. In the meantime, we will have our March in Washington DC on October 13th! Our veterans deserve that!

Many in our group have decided that enough is enough. We are Americans. We are proud of our heritage and our service. As all of us were military brats and spouses, we have served in some form or another our entire lives. This is our way of life. We will not stand by and let the U.S. government dishonor the legacy of sacrifice of the generations before us. It is time to make a stand! We hope that you will join us in our peaceful protest against anti-American policies.

The group also has a website, click here for more information.

Well lets face it. Its a matter of priorities. Barry had to choose between the amber alerts and Moochell’es Get up and Move website. Of course we know which one is more important. :-)

Agree with you about bureaukratz. For the most part, they will do whatever they’re told. They are attracted to government “service” largely for the job security, pay, promotions, and perks (i.e., benefits). Anyone who thinks a fed would risk all that just doesn’t understand their priorities.

Michelle certainly knows better than Barry where to “invest” our hard-earned tax dollars.

Barry, like so many constipated Democrat US Senators, have the same chronic problem: they can’t budget (sp?).

I am convinced that Obama wants to incite violence so it can be blamed on conservatives, veterans and the Tea Party.

And declare marshal law. I do believe that is the endgame.

I hope to be wrong (and corrections cheerfully invited),

Tell that to the patriots of the revolution. If they'd asked permission, most of us wouldn't be here because our ancestors would have been shot at dawn.

Don’t apologize. Get the word out!

We have the overpass by my house decorated with our frustrations each weekend.

Now is the time for all good men (and women)to come to the aid of their country.

Anyone driving up there from S.E. Texas???

I would like to work a shift behind the wheel...I would do so gladly, if there is anyone planning to do so...

I only need to have fresh water and someone to let me outside to go to the bathroom...;-)

I’m fairly low maintenance...My wife can attest to that fact...

With the last of the WW II vets showing up, what better song than http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euz4VdZz25U ?? If only we could reword it to bring it up to date. They would recognize the melody instantly. Another hit from the era was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQMCOwNJU5A I was only a kid then, but this song stayed with me over the years. When the War in Europe ended, this was blasting over the PA system in Times Square NY. Enjoy.
