D-Day for Government Shutdown
Fortunately, there was no government shutdown on D-Day, 69 years ago (or, in terms of the federal debt, 16.5 trillion dollars ago).
Unfortunately, the government was shut down when the Honor Flight veterans of WWII made a landing at their namesake monument in DC.
Assault on Government Shutdown
Not surprisingly, the vets easily overwhelmed the barricades and 7 rangers (called up from furlough) at the poorly defended monument and claimed it for themselves.
Now back to Normandy, where the beaches are closed.
Update: Veterans are be being chased away from the Vietnam Memorial.
