Visitors to the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., are trying to beat the heat by wading in its waters – a move U.S. veterans say is disrespectful and that needs to stop.
The memorial was completed on the National Mall in 2004, but the controversy over wading and toe-dipping in its Rainbow Pool and fountains seems to have reached a flash point this summer, particularly during last week’s heat wave.

I don't know SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. Some people are just idiots without any concern about anything but themselves. I would be shocked to see that happening.

I am sure we can have some peaceful volunteers keep them out of the shrine's water. The over 240,000 Veteran's lives lost in WW2 to help defend the USA and our allies matters too!

LTC (Join to see), When I went to the mall several times to go to the wall, the park rangers were all over that place, watching and correcting any problems that came up, like people trying to talk to visiting veterans and asking for their story. That happened to me once and the ranger was in the girls face right away.

This is a Canadian from WW2 but you get the point. Many who are still alive are in their mid and late 90s and still remember!

SGT (Join to see) - Its the same as if we were trying to talk to old Jews who were at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem at the one wall remaining of the Original Jewish Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D
It is a quiet Moment of sadness for them and people should just be grateful and leave

A large amount of the young now a days have hardly any respect for a lot of things, they feel their entitled to everything.

I know Cowboy. My grandchildren, that are old enough to know better, are the same way. It's their parents faults.

All four of my children were taught better, SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth. One out of four wouldn't allow his kids to do that. I'm really not sure about the others.
