BEDFORD, Va. – On the eve of the 65th anniversary of D-Day, the foundation that runs the National D-Day Memorial is on the brink of financial ruin. Donations are down in the poor economy. The primary base of support — World War II veterans — is dying off. And the privately funded memorial is struggling to draw visitors because it's hundreds of miles from a major city.
Facing the prospect of cutting staff and hours, the memorial's president believes its only hope for long-term survival is to be taken over by the National Park Service or by a college or university.
So far, he's found no takers.
Hey Barack. Since it's so easy to print money these days, how about diverting just a couple hundred-thousand to help finish off this project? You could do it in memory of your "Gramps" who served in England.
Heck, you'll print up more than this just to keep the lawn cut at a UAW local.
