In a society so treacherous that many now go about their daily business asking “Where are the good guys?”, comes a timely reminder that the World War II heroes aka ‘The Good Guys’ are still very much here.

Some 35,000 veterans are scheduled to visit the national memorial in Washington, D.C. this month,  and as the ones who visited yesterday proved, no silly Government Shutdown could ever stop them.

Many now in their 90s, the World War II vets, who have more gonads than any lily-livered politician, swept through the government-planted barricades to get to their Memorial yesterday, the first day of the so-called shutdown.

Politicians prove themselves by promises and rhetoric, World War II vets by an already proven action in battle.

For defending freedom so the rest of us could live, the War Memorial is all the vets,  many of them who returned from war having to fight for their pensions, ever got.

The all-expense paid trip, which will bring 900 of the heroic vets to Washington in the next five days alone, is called an “Honor Flight”. 

If NBC affiliate NorthwestOhio.com got it right,  World War II vets on the Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio scheduled to depart from Toledo one week today will be arrested if they make their way to their War Memorial.

If park personnel arrest the World War II heroes,  Washington politicians will have to go into hiding.

When Honor Flight of Northwest of Ohio President Lee Armstrong called the parks service, he was told they would face arrest. (NorthwestOhio.com, October 1, 2013).

99% of veterans on Honor Flights, who have waited a lifetime, have never had the opportunity to see the memorial that is dedicated to their service.

The government’s shutdown, staged to make it appear that one party doesn’t want people to have access to health care, will have to be put on hold, one week from today and for the rest of the month of October if it includes vets seeing the Washington War Memorial.

And through it all, patriotic hearts will be cheering their loudest.

Perhaps power hounds Senator Harry Reid and President Barack Obama are unaware of something already proven: heroic war vets never stand down.

Just a year and a half before Obama won the presidency, an unforgettable ‘‘Oorah Chapter’ of War Vets flooding Washington D.C. to defend their war memorial was written in indelible ink.

Still carried in the hearts of anyone there, the ‘Oorah Chapter’ took place on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2007, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Mother of all anti-war protests, when a decades-ago massive march to the Pentagon demanded an end to the war in Vietnam, and was also being marked as the 4th anniversary of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
