away? >> reporter: those mississippi and iowa world war ii veterans didn't let the barry grade deter them yesterday. they did have a chance to see the memorial. this whole thing puts the park service in a tough position though. they're told by the department of interior to close all facilities including those open-air war memorials around washington, d.c. but a park service spokesperson said they want to be respectful of veterans as well. bill? bill: congress will get another crack at this, right? they might vote to reopen the memorials again today, is that right, molly? >> reporter: yes. here's the situation. it came up in the house yesterday, a bill to reopen the national parks which would include the war memorials. it need ad two thirds vote to pass. it didn't get that. so they will bring it up in the house again today under a different set of procedures where it would only need majority to pass. of course it would need senate approval as well which seems unlikely. it has a long way to go in congress to just reopen the national parks and war memorials.
