Veterans first fought America’s wars, then they fought the National Park Service over White House-ordered closures of war memorials because of the partial shutdown of the federal government. Now they’re developing a response to President Obama’s “war” against them: A rally. The Million Vet March on the Memorials has announced plans for an event Sunday, Oct. 13, at 9 a.m. Eastern at the World War II memorial on the National Mall, the location where rangers under orders from the White House tried, unsuccessfully, to prevent vets from visiting in recent days. Announcement said “Special Operations Speaks” will be taking the action because, “The Obama administration is using the government shutdown as an excuse to keep our veterans from acknowledging the debt owed to them and their predecessors. This is unforgivable. It is also unjustified, as no taxpayer funds are spent by keeping these shrines open. We will open them ourselves, if that’s what it takes. “We know that there may be some degree of confrontation, given the anti-military attitude of the administration. It is our intention to avoid confrontation, and we request that you join us in avoiding any kind of physical contact with park rangers, police, or other law-enforcement personnel. Give them no excuse to hijack the moment.” the organization announced. On the website, there was no waffling about the blame, however. “In a mean-spirited fit of selfish anger, Barack Obama has shut down our nation’s war memorials. And he has declared open war on our honored veterans!” the website says. “The World War II memorial … the Vietnam Veterans Memorial … the Korean War Veterans Memorial – Obama has shut them all down to force his will on the House of Representatives and frankly, to get revenge on the American people who oppose Obamacare and his other naked power grabs.” The message to veterans continued, “Let’s put it plainly: Barack Obama is behaving like a vicious tyrant. And if he succeeds in this assault on the democratic system, the republic we love is at mortal risk. It’s just that simple.” Two actions are recommended, to sign a petition demanding the opening of the memorials, and attendance at the rally. Scheduled to speak is Rep. Steve Stockman, who is on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and plays an active role in uncovering the truth about what happened at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. The rally is planned on the same weekend that thousands of truckers, maybe more, are scheduled to be in Washington to protest Obama administration policies and actions, and only a few weeks after the “2 Million Bikers” roared through the city. In fact, the bikers are planning to join the veterans. The organization said the rally will show Americans’ outrage at the awful treatment of the heroes who fought for the nation’s freedom. “Americans have had enough of this shoddy treatment of those who saved our country from tyranny,” said Belinda Bee, Organizer of 2 Million Bikers to D.C. “These are men in their 80s and 90s. They can’t come back next month or next year. This is their chance to share in this American experience dedicated to their heroism. And yet, this administration was willing to lock them out of a memorial that normally is unguarded in an attempt to score political points. We, the leadership of 2 Million Bikers To DC, urge you to join in this important rally.” The earlier rally by bikers took over the city on the same day an event billed as the “Million Muslim March” was to be held. Muslims renamed it the “Million American March Against Fear,” but only a few dozen people appeared. Instead, the city was taken over by bikers, exhibiting their patriotism, as well as displeasure with a lot of Washington policies.
