Vice President Joe Biden praised a park ranger standing guard over the World War II memorial for denying visiting veterans access Tuesday.
The vice president tweeted on Thursday:
Biden’s call came in response to an exchange between the ranger and U.S. Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, who objected to keeping veterans from the park.

An online petition calling for Neugebauer to apologize to the park ranger launched at Change.org, has garnered just over 2,000 signatures.
