And they are still the greatest generation. . .
WWII Vets Appear To Push Past Gates, Storm Shut-Down Memorial In DC
Geoffrey Ingersoll Oct. 1, 2013, 12:09 PM A massive group of World War II veterans arrived in D.C. today to an ill-timed government shutdown expecting to still be let in to tour their memorial. People on the scene reported that the vets "pushed down" gates surrounding the memorial. Further reports say that authorities gave in and opened the memorial, while the official word from park police was that they were "seeking guidance on how to respond." Meanwhile, the storming vets had a soundtrack. CNN reports: Busloads of World War II veterans, many in wheelchairs, broke past a barricade Tuesday to cross into the World War II Memorial, as onlookers applauded and a man playing the bagpipes led the way. pics & vid here

The Germans couldn't keep them off the beach; how the hell could anybody keep them out of their own memorial?
"Parks closed due to government shutdown" my ass.

Still the greatest generation, still getting the job done despite total bull shit call of shutting down the country by the so called leaders of the free world.
