Veterans Memorial D.C. Protest – Million Vet March 2013 (VIDEO)

In what has been dubbed the “Million Vet March,” several hundred veterans and supporters protested at national memorials including the WWII memorial where Mississippi Honor Flight Veterans and their elected representatives recently took a stand of their own.

The memorial, among other public sites, have been closed due to the government shutdown.

Sunday’s protests inspired some to remove any bindings on the gates and pick them up and transport them to an area in front of the White House, according to CBS DC.

Police in front of the White House had riot gear on. An armored police vehicle was also at the WWII memorial as a precaution.

The group’s website said that they didn’t want to stand for dishonor any longer and that “enough is enough.”

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and former Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin joined protesters on the National Mall.
