Great: Obama?s Parks Service Plans to Arrest 90-Year-Old WWII Vets for Daring to Visit Open-Air Memorial | Jammie Wearing Fools
I hope so. God, I hope so. Please, please do it.
He says they are considering going ahead with the trip even if the government is still on shutdown, but when he called the parks service, he was told they would face arrest. I said, are you kidding me? Youre going to arrest a 90/91-year-old veteran from seeing his memorial? If it wasnt for them it wouldnt be there. She said, Thats correct sir.
When Armstrong asked for her name, he says she did not give it to him and then promptly hung up the phone.
Why do you hope so? Got a problem with vets?
Veto anything that does not fund the entire government. No negotiations with domestic terrorists.
Stop with the drama queen shit calling fellow Americans who were elected to oppose Obamacare "domestic terrorists".
That is what they are.
Because Moon is a dishonest scrunt who is here only to inflame and taunt.
He is the textbook definition of a "Troll"
When proven wrong you again resort to insults. I thank you for the fact that truth hurts your ego.Ed.
Despite the soon to be short lived gloating by Moon..
The story is true.

Honor Flight to World War II Memorial in jeopardy due to shutdown : News : NorthwestOhio.com
TOLEDO -- In and around the Glass City, effects of the government shutdown can be seen at our museums, monuments, and national parks. The gates are closed and locked, denying access completely to the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge.
Transportation Safety Administration employees were still working at Toledo Express Airport on Monday, but when WNWO called the TSA to find out if they would be affected, there was a message that said the public relations representative did not have access to her voicemail or email due to the government shutdown.
A letter from Rep. Marcy Kaptur's (D-OH 9) office reads,"...only services deemed essential for the safety of human life and protection of property will be continued."
Yet, for a group of World War II veterans visiting the national memorial in Washington D.C., an all expense paid trip which is called an "Honor Flight," the shutdown was not stopping them from seeing the tribute that was inspired by them.
"It just goes to show you why we won World War II," says Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio President Lee Armstrong.
Many elderly veterans, some in wheelchairs, broke through the barriers set up around the memorial, as police, park service employees, and tourists looked on. "The Germans and the Japanese couldn't contain us. They weren't going to let barriers contain them today. They wanted to see their memorial," says Armstrong.
Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio has a trip scheduled to depart from Toledo next Wednesday, October 9.
"We will make the call this Friday to determine if the flight is still a go, or if we will have to re-schedule," Armstrong explains.
He says they are considering going ahead with the trip even if the government is still on shutdown, but when he called the parks service, he was told they would face arrest. "I said, are you kidding me? You're going to arrest a 90/91-year-old veteran from seeing his memorial? If it wasn't for them it wouldn't be there. She said, 'That's correct sir.'"
When Armstrong asked for her name, he says she did not give it to him and then promptly hung up the phone.
99% of veterans on Honor Flights have never had the opportunity to see the memorial that is devoted to their service.
Through October, the are over 35,000 veterans scheduled to visit the site, more than 900 in the next five days alone.
It may all be waiting in limbo if the government can't complete their job.

Got any proof that Oblama actually ordered this?

If not Obama himself, then someone who works for/with him did.
If Obama didn't approve of it, he could have rescinded that order already.. He's done a "great" job writing EO's in the past overturning laws he doesn't like.
I served 6 years in the OKANG/USAR and the RA. How many years did you serve?

Thank you for your service, but you are still a dipshit!
Obama Vows To Veto GOP Spending Bill That Restores Funding For Veterans Benefits
He wants people to suffer, that much is clear.
Via WhiteHouse.gov:
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H.J. Res. 70, 71, 72, 73 and H.R. 3230 Limited Appropriations Resolutions, 2014 (Rep. Rogers, R-KY)
The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230, making fiscal year 2014 appropriations for very limited activities. Consideration of appropriations bills in a piecemeal fashion is not a serious or responsible way to run the United States Government. Instead of opening up a few Government functions, the House of Representatives should re-open all of the Government. The harmful impacts of a shutdown extend across Government, affecting services that are critical to small businesses, women, children, seniors, and others across the Nation. The Senate acted in a responsible manner on a short-term funding measure to maintain Government functions and avoid a damaging Government shutdown. The House of Representatives should allow a straight up or down vote on the Senate-passed H.J. Res. 59.
If the President were presented with H.J. Res. 70, H.J. Res. 71, H.J. Res. 72, H.J. Res. 73, and H.R. 3230, he would veto the bills.

What a scumbag
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.
