What they put around the WWII memorial in Washington, DC to frustrate the veterans who'd had their trip planned for weeks. Thank you Republican representatives who came to their rescue and removed them.  In a number of cases, the National Park Service only supervises parking lots, and local groups pay for and control the memorials. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/1/elderly-veterans-force-entry-wwii-memorial-defianc/

$197 million was raised to build the WWII memorial in DC, a project suggested and promoted by Marcy Kaptur (D) of Ohio for 5 years before it was finally approved. The federal government chipped in $16 million, the rest came from from individuals, veterans groups like the American Legion and VFW, and corporations. I donated. I want it open.

Janice Crouse reports Democrats are hiring protestors to march at WWII and other DC memorials ... paying $15. Homeless and others earning some extra cash.

Today Sarah Palin wrote: "It’s beyond shameful to see Barack Obama disrespect and mistreat our World War II veterans so blatantly. Obama’s political stunt to “shut down” their memorial by barricade is to elicit an angry response to generate bad publicity for people the president uses in his continual blame game."
