For the second straight day barricades at the World War II Memorial were simply pushed aside as veterans came to tour it.
Groups from Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio moved right in and ignored signs saying that the memorial was closed, due to the government shutdown.
Police were present, but made no effort to stop the World War II veterans.
Tuesday had seen the same scene, though the veterans then had paused before the barricades disappeared before them.
Wednesday differed in that protesters also made appearances, most of the police attention was on them.
More veteran groups are scheduled to visit the memorial, nearly every day in October.
