Congressman Sam Graves met with veterans at the WWII Memorial in Washington on Wednesday.

Graves tweeted, “It’s always great to welcome our nation’s veterans to the World War II Memorial, and I was pleased to be there again today with others from Missouri and Kansas in greeting a large group from the Kansas City area. This is not a partisan issue – and regardless of what’s happening in government, the World War II Memorial should always be open to the men and women who saved our nation 70 years ago.”
