Democracy allows for the showcasing of differing opinions; however, President Obama and Democratic Senator Mark Warner showed no respect for the men and women who bled and died to preserve our way of life by staging the forced public closing of the WWII memorial. During this government shutdown, funding for active duty military has been restored, but Mark Warner and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Senate are withholding the unanimously passed House bill (yes, all Republicans and all Democrats voted yes) funding for our Veterans. From shutting down the WWII monument to disregarding our military, both Senator Warner and President Obama shame our country and those that they supposedly represent. Join me by signing this petition asking Mark Warner and President Obama to support legislation that will immediately and fully fund all Veteran Affairs services and facilities, and to restore and maintain the operation of any federal memorial to Veterans and fallen soldiers, including the WWII, Korean, and Vietnam Memorials and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
