Just as Memorial Day is not about picnics and barbecues, water fountain tributes to American military veterans are not to be used as swimming pools.

As temperatures climb and give rise to a search for ways to cool off, one method is definitely off-limits as seen in a video taken at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Third world immigrants swim and wash their sweaty feet in a WWII memorial. Many say that “anyone” should be allowed to come here. But ask yourself this…

Would someone of Euro descent do this? The answer is no. Why is the term “diversity” only used for white countries? pic.twitter.com/M7zn6ttUXt — Vincent James (@RealVinceJames) May 25, 2018

Although it is not clear when the video was taken, viewers can hear the question being asked of the alleged “migrants” wading and swimming in the waters.

“You know this is a memorial for the soldiers, right?” they are asked, but don’t appear to get it.

Dozens of adults and children are seen in the video as they use the memorial as a personal escape from the heat, ignoring the sign that bans the exact activity.

In another video posted in May 2017, disrespectful visitors to the memorial fountain are informed of their misstep.

Many social media users were equally as appalled and, though there was the occasional voice which defended the people’s right to get wet in a veteran’s water memorial, others roundly condemned the move as disrespectful.

Wading, bathing, swimming is NOT allowed in any of the memorials on the Mall…they are not intended as pools. — Mark J. Morris (@MarkJMorris1) May 25, 2018

And it seems the problem is not strictly limited to migrants who may not be able to read English.

What a slap in our face! No respect for our country, the flag and our vets. And it will only get worse. Thank you Pelosi, Waters, Schumer, Demos!#onlythebeginning — Sylvia Rodriguez (@1_SilentStorm) May 25, 2018

Anyone that dares ask them get out of the water will be tagged as racists by the liberal, douchebag media. The video will go viral and all the liberals will be calling for the security guard to be fired and never be allowed to work again. — Hockey Dennis (@HockeyDennis69) May 26, 2018

I don’t find this offensive. They are not all immigrants and it is mainly just children having a little fun in the hot weather. Nobody is ‘washing’. — Jacob Cook (@JacobNCook) May 25, 2018
