![#1MVetMarch: Barrycades down! Spite House barricades no match for Million Vets March [photos]](https://media.townhall.com/cdn/hodl/tw/images/up/2013/10/million-vets-march-dad-1052x615.jpg)
Citizens are taking to Washington, D.C., Sunday morning to protest the Spite House’s closing of the nation’s memorials. Twitter users are using #VetMarch and #1MVetMarch to spread the word and to provide on-the-scene reports from the Million Vet March. As Twitchy reported, Sarah Palin is attending the march as well.
She is not alone!
