Veterans at the Memorial: Showing Us What It Means to Be American WASHINGTON, D.C.—A question Americans should answer for themselves is the one I am thinking through while standing at the National World War II Memorial on the Washington Mall this week. What kind of president doesn’t do everything he can to ensure that the elderly American men in wheelchairs I see before me have access to “their” memorial—even during a government shutdown? And when I say “their” memorial, I am not only referring to their World War II veteran status. This memorial cost $182 million to build; $197 million… View Article

WWII Heroes Fought for Their Country, Not Their Government

                            WWII Heroes Fought for Their Country, Not Their Government The nation once again owes the heroes of World War II a debt of gratitude. The veterans who stormed the barricades that the federal government tried to erect around the WWII memorial on the Mall in Washington, D.C. reminded us that they fought and died not for their government, but their country. That government might shut down, but the United States–and the freedoms we enjoy–precede it, and endure, regardless. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Obama administration… View Article
