The Veterans who were there are being ignored.
**********
Later in the morning there was an Honor Flight of WWII vets coming to see the memorial. I don’t know all the facts surrounding this but their bus was not allowed to drive up to the memorial; it was stopped about 50 yards away. It appeared to me that this was at the direction of the police.

In any case these national heros had to be wheeled up to the memorial where they were greeted by two rows of an impromtu welcoming committee. You’ve probably seen this on the news (if you watch Fox).

The point I’m trying to make is that after all their sacrifices, why wasn’t the bus allowed to pull up to the WWII memorial? Isn’t that the least a grateful country should do for them?

By contrast, earlier in the week the government made sure that the illegals gathered on the National Mall had every convenience. Just sayin....

LOCAL NEWPAPER IN SOMERSET COUNTY, PA.

Stated that over 20,000 folks were
denied a visit at the Flight 93 Memorial during the ‘shut down’...

during the Fall of 2012 over 1,200 buses stopped at the Memorial, and the facility has 13 employees there..that surprised me for this small depressed area..

PRAY FOR AMERICA...
