On Tuesday, World War II vets on an “Honor Flight” to visit their memorial in D.C. were not deterred by a government-shutdown barricade. Last night, after arriving home, a man who appears to be an Honor Flight volunteer defiantly and proudly held up a trophy from their capturing of the memorial: a strip of police tape apparently taken from the scene earlier that day.
