Transgenders needs and wants are being placed above the needs of our veterans.

Memorial Day will bring tens of thousands of veterans to Washington, D.C. But when they trek across the Potomac River to check out the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, they’ll find what some consider an unsightly indignity: porta-potties.
Jim Campbell, a Vietnam-era veteran who’s been leading Honor Flight tours out of Wisconsin through the memorial for years, tells veterans to take care of business before they make a stop at the Iwo Jima Memorial.
“To have them use a facility that you normally see on a construction site is really pretty disgusting, quite frankly,” Campbell said on a recent tour.
Yet an upgrade to get permanent toilets at the facility is impossible without an act of Congress, thanks to a bill flushed out by lawmakers more than 10 years ago.
Those porta-potties have stayed put, standing at attention like soldiers of waste sanitation.
Campbell and others expect better at the memorial that honors the service of all Marines.
Putting a bathroom on the site seems like it would be pretty easy. The property has plenty of space. There’s plenty of money thanks to a billionaire who donated millions of dollars to upgrade the memorial. And everybody’s pretty excited to give the site a facelift, including park ranger Aaron LaRocca with the National Park Service.
“We’re going to upgrade everything from the top of the flagpole down to the monument,” he said.
