“In a statement, (Rep. Steven) Palazzo noted that he is introducing legislation to ensure that all Honor Flights are granted access this week. ‘This is an open-air memorial that the public has 24/7 access to under normal circumstances — even when Park Service personnel aren’t present,’ Palazzo said in the statement. ‘It actually requires more effort and expense to shut out these veterans from their Memorial than it would to simply let them through. My office has been in touch with NPS officials and the Administration to try to resolve this issue’.” [Daily Caller, 01OCT13]

‘scuse me! The NPS changed an “open access” to “closed access” for the purpose of making a political statement about the “slimdown”?

I will be more than happy to cut my hair and put on my uniform to accompany any sponsored group of veterans who wish to visit DC’s open air veterans’ memorials (WWII, Korea, Viet Nam etc.)  I can help move barricades. I have NEVER been arrested before… it would be my pleasure and my duty to make this my first.
