Here is the proof that even a cockroach can stoop to a new low.
The WWII Memorial in Washington DC, according to its website, “was funded almost entirely by private contributions, as specified in Public Law 103-32. The campaign received more than $197 million in cash and pledges. Support came from hundreds of thousands of individual Americans, hundreds of corporations and foundations, veterans groups, dozens of civic, fraternal and professional organizations, states and one territory, and students in 1,200 schools across the country.”
That Memorial sits in the open air, along a sidewalk.
Also, according to the website: “The memorial opened to the public on April 29, 2004 and was dedicated one month later on May 29. It is located on 17th Street, between Constitution and Independence Avenues, and is flanked by the Washington Monument to the east and the Lincoln Memorial to the west. The memorial is operated by the National Park Service and is open to visitors 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
That means that, regardless of the hours of operation of the government, whether the government is open or shut down…The WWII Memorial in Washington is OPEN to visitors.
There is, however, one exception.
