The National World War II Memorial was funded almost entirely by private contributions, as specified in Public Law 103-32. The campaign received more than $197 million in cash and pledges. Support came from hundreds of thousands of individual Americans, hundreds of corporations and foundations, veterans groups, dozens of civic, fraternal and professional organizations, states and one territory, and students in 1,200 schools across the country. Donated and pledged funds were used to cover the total project costs of approximately $182 million. These costs include site selection and design, construction and sculpture, a National Park Service maintenance fee required by the Commemorative Works Act, groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, fund raising, and the 11-year administrative costs of the project from its inception in 1993 through completion in 2004. Remaining funds are held on deposit with the U.S. Treasury in a National WWII Memorial Trust Fund. The funds will be used by the American Battle Monuments Commission solely to benefit the World War II Memorial. |

The inference is the Vietnam Memorial and Korean War Memorial will be closed but I don’t know if it has been confirmed or denied.
Thread moving fast. Just walked in...catching up.
Beck on phone with Congressman Gohmert...’Amazing Grace’ being sung at the WWII vets right now...Beck is letting his listeners hear them singing.
“poke in the eye”
It’s deliberate. I think it was last year during the debt ceiling/sequester battle that an Obama email/directive was exposed, “make it hurt”.
Count myself and a few hundred of my friends to be there with you. Just let me know when.............

He did. :-)
My meaning is actually that we are being pushed by 0bama and the Dhims to dictatorship or destruction. Nothing in the middle. At all. No middle ground.

Because without the essential government statue, plaque and monument operators someone might get hurt. And what if someone decided to steal one of the monuments? Why, they could just pick it up and walk right off with it.
.
Somebody needs to write new lyrics to the Horst Wessel Lied, replacing references to the SA with ones to Obama’s thugs.
Obama must be very angry and looking for the UN hotline number this very moment.
Beck just dropped a dime on Boehner regarding the e-mail exchange with Reid...Gohmert NOT happy.
He doesn't understand that it will also be his Waterloo moment as well
so now the Dems are wanting to be seen to let in vets and yet it is they who vote against funding the parks.
Their hypocrisy really is stunning.
I think Baby Barry realized that he had gone too far on this one. Even the apathetic American public might object to seeing 90 yr. old vets getting their heads cracked by “essential” Federal employees.
Wonderful, thanks for the pix!
Bttt
Wow! Thanks for posting!
