From @LeoShane's twitter feed: Honor flight vets just knocked over the barriers at the WWII memorial to get inside, ‪#?shutdown‬ or no.

This picture from reporter Leo Shane was taken 24 minutes ago at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. He's there with photographer Carlos Bongionni working on a story.

After that tweet above, he followed it with some more (the most recent on top):
• Iowa vets (yellow shirts) now coming into WWII memorial with congressional security guard. #shutdown

• No sign of folks leaving. The vets have control of the memorial. #shutdown

• Tons of applause as the WWII vets from Miss. storm their memorial. Park police on the way

1. Occupy WWII Memorial. Let's hope this looks worse for GOPers. nt

2. Maybe the Cops can taser a few of these wheel chair intruders

3. The rep gop from MS and Steven King

took down the fences. This is a stunt. I don't think the Vets are behind.
