Our founding fathers, if they were able to peep into the future and see where we are today, would be so proud! You just know they'd be glowing, if they saw how things stand.
Open-air memorials shut down and guarded against frail former soldiers and their families?
Wonderful!
Military cemeteries closed to the public?
Bravo!
Privately-owned and -run facilities (such as the Claude Moore Farm and the Pisgah Inn) told they have to close-- against their will?
*wild applause*
And then, when the owner of the Pisgah Inn decided to "defy their authority" by staying open (because people were still booking rooms and could get to the inn with no trouble-- and because the inn doesn't receive federal funding/support)? They posted armed, uniformed officials on the road, to direct traffic away from the inn. The message is clear: You will do as you're told-- or else.
P.S.
Now they want to close parts of the ocean. Yeah, good luck with that.
