From left, Greenwood World War II veterans Bob Swanzy, Howard Davis and George Dulin and escort Bill Thornburg are seen at the Gulfport/Biloxi International Airport on Tuesday night following their return from Washington. They were part of a group of veterans that found barricades and police tape blocking access to the World War II Memorial in Washington Tuesday because of the government shutdown. But the veterans were escorted past the barriers by members of Congress.
