Default FBHO New low - Closing the cemetery at NORMANDY

Could this guy spit in the eye of veterans any more blatantly? What a low-life despicable piece of garbage he is. FBHO needs to just GTFO, NOW would be soon enough!

Oh, they also tried to order the privately-run Mont Vernon closed! Petty tyranny at its worst!

PARIS — Tourists travelling to Omaha Beach to pay their respects to the 9,387 military dead at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial will find it closed, a victim of the U.S. government’s partial shutdown.

The site overlooking the D-Day invasion beaches is one of 24 U.S. military cemeteries overseas that have closed to visitors since Monday. Ten more cemeteries in in France, as well as others in various European countries as well as Mexico, Panama, Tunisia and the ippines, will remain closed for the duration of the shutdown.

The cemeteries are maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission, set up after the First World War. Nearly 125,000 U.S. servicemen and women are buried at its cemeteries, and an additional 94,000 are commemorated on tablets of the missing.
