Attention Parents: War Memorials Are Not Wading Pools
A picture of a group of people using the fountain at the National WWII Memorial as a wading pool is going viral on social media this week. NBC 12’s Curt Autry posted the photo to his Facebook account.
“The fountain at the WW II memorial is not the slip and slide at Busch Gardens. I apologize to the Greatest Generation, I’m afraid it’s my generation that’s raising self-involved, entitled children with low SAT scores – who mistakenly believe bucking authority is funny. Hey parents, get out of the water – set an example and #raiseYOURkids SHARE if you agree.”
A LOT of people agree. The post has been shared over 34,000 times in two days.
