Republican Florida Rep. Brian Mastchastised the Biden Administration for putting an end to This Memorial Day Rolling to Recall Event, Based on The Western Journal.

MAst said,”Memorial Day traditions like Rolling to Remember have been granted permits by every administration, Democrat and Republican, for the past 30 years.”

“The Biden Administration’s decision to end this Memorial Day tradition flies in the face of the freedoms that so many have died to protect.”

“We are blessed beyond words to be citizens of the greatest country on Earth and only live free thanks to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.”

“But sadly right now, in Joe Biden’s America, it is easier to cross the border illegally than it is to get a permit to pay our respects to our nation’s fallen heroes,” he continued.

“Unfortunately, the department has disapproved AMVETS permit request,” the Pentagon’s Department of Defense stated.

“The department took into careful consideration all aspects of AMVETS request, to include the current Health Protection Condition status on the Pentagon Reservation; substantial community transmission of COVID-19 in Arlington County, Virginia; number of Americans fully vaccinated across the nation; nature of this event with its decreased ability to maintain physical distance; and large crowds in one location for an extended period of time…”

“This event draws national attention and participation; therefore the risk of exposure from participants from other communities extends well beyond the National Capital Region.”

“If COVID-19 conditions permit, the department would gladly consider supporting a future event request from AMVETS, potentially as soon as this Labor Day weekend.”

“The department looks forward to supporting future events with AMVETS, and as always, we appreciate AMVETS’ support of our veterans, their families, and their communities, such as promoting better awareness of veterans’ issues, as well as AMVETS continued support for our missing-in-action service members.”
