Today’s Million Veteran March was a heart warming success! Not only did they take back the memorials, but they took the Barrycades where they belong–to the White House! Here’s some of the coverage. It will all warm your heart 🙂
Crowd storms World War II Memorial
Thousands of people converged on the World War II Memorial on the National Mall on Sunday morning and tore down the barricades blocking it off, protesting the closure of the memorial during the federal government shutdown.
Beginning at about 9:30 a.m., Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as well as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, were among the luminaries in a crowd that chanted “Tear down these walls!” and sang “God Bless America” as well as other patriotic songs as they entered the memorial, which has been closed since the government shutdown that began Oct. 1.
Tractor-trailers headed down 17th Street toward the Mall, blaring their horns. The Metropolitan Police Department blocked off the street, prompting the crowd to head up the street, shouting at the police to move their vehicles.
Palin said that closing the memorials was disgraceful, and that President Obama “could be here today, saying ‘Yes, we can tear down these barricades.”
Breitbart (w Tweets): Veterans Remove Barricades from Memorials and Bring Them to WH
And then the riot police were deployed. To stop a bunch of WWII veterans and their supporters. Obama is not only think-skinned, he’s a coward.
Thank God we have baton wielding riot police to protect us from 85 yr old vets in wheelchairs. Thanks, Mr. Obama pic.twitter.com/hrxWzMkO18

Here’s Twitchy Team’s excellent coverage with pics.
History in the making! I’m really glad that Senator Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin were there.
Next, we must have a Million-Man IMPEACHMENT March.
We the People have had enough! The Patriots showed up in force this weekend. Rock on!!
By his disgusting actions, we have in the White House a man, I do not want to say president or leader, who proudly hates this country.
Gave me goosebumps to watch our brave veterans, young and old, always ready to defend our freedoms– at home and abroad. They had to know that the goon squads would soon descend upon them. Yet they moved ahead and executed their plan.
God bless them all. I was SO proud of them. And being from Texas, I was bustin’ my buttons that my Senator Cruz was there, with Gov. Palin and Mike Lee.
As someone said on the twitters this weekend, here’s a cover pic for Time magazine. And, how appropiate is this saying from our Tammy: “This is America, dang it! Go try it on the French!” #ProudAmerican
He and his are merely squatters in his Spite House (ours is the White House); even tho he thinks he ‘owns’ it and the memorials. Val J promised to pay those back that try to stand in the POS’ way this term.
The lefties all over the internet are saying these veterans are just props for Cruz, Palin and the rest. I find this revolting and utterly insulting….many of these vets have gone through experiences that these left wing mutts only see in the movies….these guys are disciplined and smart and all do this in DC of their own volition. Dispicable….
[…] Tammy Bruce reports that our military veterans made their views on the conduct of President Stompy F… when they took the Barrycades down and brought them back to the SpiteHouse. Check out the link for some great photos of our veterans in action. […]
