WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS RALLY? Vets rally at WWII memorial for end to devastating impact of partial shutdown #Veterans returned Tuesday to the closed World War II Memorial in Washington to highlight what they call the partial #governmentshutdown’s “devastating impact” on the military community. The rally at the memorial -- now a national symbol of allegedly excessive cutbacks tied to the partial government shutdown – was organized by the Military Coalition, a group of 33 veteran and military-oriented services groups representing more than 5.5 million members. Members say that veterans have become a pawn in the jockeying over the partial government shutdown -- pointing to decisions to block visitors from the open-air WWII memorial and threaten the cut-off of military benefits for millions of active and retired military if no deal is reached to increase the federal debt limit.
