WWII veterans storm DC memorial, take park Rangers as prisoners of war

Filed · 1544

WASHINGTON, DC — A group of elderly veterans have stormed past the barricades of the World War II memorial and have taken a number of park rangers as Prisoners of War, sources confirmed.

The attack, now in its second day, included more than four busloads of veterans visiting from Mississippi on an "Honor Flight." Group leader Elmer Lee told reporters he had called for reinforcements.

On Tuesday, after the initial assault into the site, Lee's forces captured a number of park rangers, who they are still holding at cane-point. Sources confirmed that weeks prior to the attack, the park rangers received numerous intelligence intercepts that the invaders would storm into Arlington National Cemetery or the Washington Monument instead.
