We do not care what political leanings you may be; be it liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent or whatever. The actions of the U.S. government this week with regard to barricading and shutting down the World War II Memorial to veterans, that may or may not be on their last trip to Washington DC, is a despicable act of cowardice.
Veterans this week were unwillingly pitted as pawns in this crisis. We feel that this should never be the case. This is why we will go to Congress after the budget crisis and ask for a bill to be introduced that would prevent any member of the government from closing our memorials down to any American, except for maintenance purposes. In the meantime, we will have our March in Washington DC on October 13th! Our veterans deserve that!
Many in our group have decided that enough is enough. We are Americans. We are proud of our heritage and our service. As all of us were military brats and spouses, we have served in some form or another our entire lives. This is our way of life. We will not stand by and let the U.S. government dishonor the legacy of sacrifice of the generations before us. It is time to make a stand! We hope that you will join us in our peaceful protest against anti-American policies.
Get ready to join a million vets in Washington DC and online! The Administration has closed down war memorials that are normally open 24/7 and that do not have any staff to guard them under normal circumstances.

Who can attend?
Vets, their spouses, children, friends, neighbors – everyone who thinks enough is enough!
It’s time to rise up like our forefathers did.
The English Tyrant perpetrated what the colonials called “The Intolerable Acts.” The Tyrant in the Oval Office and his tyrannical, marxist, democrat party are imposing “intolerable acts” on veterans and decent law-abiding Americans.
We should have risen up against the fascist progressives long ago.
I’ve had all I can take with this new socialist government.
If we can not stand now , then when???? I must unite and show all.
